Indoor Calathea Rosepicta  (Calathea Rosy), Type 1A, 1.5LP, 50-60CM

 

Calathea Roseopicta, often called the Rose-Painted Calathea, is a striking tropical plant known for its beautiful, colorful foliage. It features dark green leaves with pink or rose-colored patterns on the top side and deep purple undersides. Like other calatheas, it can be a bit finicky but is worth the effort for its stunning appearance. Here’s how to care for a Calathea Roseopicta:

Light Requirements
Bright, indirect light is best. Too much direct sunlight can fade the leaf colors and cause the edges to brown.
It can tolerate lower light conditions but may grow slower and with less vibrant colors. Avoid harsh, direct sunlight.
Watering
Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry.
Use filtered or distilled water if possible, as Calathea Roseopicta is sensitive to fluoride, chlorine, and other chemicals in tap water, which can cause brown leaf tips.
Ensure the pot has proper drainage, as standing water can cause root rot.
Humidity and Temperature
High humidity is essential for this plant. Aim for humidity levels of 50% or higher. Use a humidifier or place the plant on a humidity tray to maintain the moisture levels.
Temperature: Keep it in a warm environment, ideally between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Avoid cold drafts, as it is sensitive to temperatures below 60°F (15°C).
Soil
Use a well-draining potting mix that retains moisture without becoming waterlogged. A mix of peat, perlite, and regular potting soil works well.
The soil should allow water to drain freely while retaining enough moisture for the plant's needs.
Fertilizing
Feed every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a diluted, balanced, water-soluble fertilizer.
Avoid over-fertilizing, which can lead to a buildup of salts in the soil and cause leaf burn.
Pruning
Regularly remove any yellow or damaged leaves to encourage healthy growth.
Prune the plant to maintain its shape if it becomes too large or leggy.
Repotting
Repot every 1-2 years, preferably in the spring, to refresh the soil and give the plant more room to grow.
Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one, with good drainage.
