- Temperature: Maintain a warm and consistent temperature between 65°F to 80°F (18°C to 27°C). Avoid exposing the plant to temperature extremes and drafts.
- Fertilizing: Feed your Calathea Prayer Plant with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer) about once a month. Reduce or suspend fertilization during the winter when growth slows down.
- Pruning: Regularly remove dead or yellowing leaves to encourage healthy growth and maintain the plant’s appearance.
- Potting: Repot your Calathea Prayer Plant every 1-2 years to refresh the soil and provide more space for growth. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one.
