So happy with how well my Calathea Zebrina has been growing since on got him four months back. I am pretty confident I have got this plant waxed, found the perfect spot and got the watering down.
I have missed a few more common points on the Calathea care, so will mention them here.
Firstly your calatheas leaves will move, when it's light out the leaves will drop and at night they will lift up. This is completely normal and indicates that your plant is happy and healthy. If your Calathea isn't moving from day to night, it might be a sign of stress or that something is wrong.
When it comes to watering I only use rain water on all my indoor plants. Calatheas have a tendency to crisp up when given tap water that has too many chemicals in. My Calathea Zebrina does have a few crispy leaves and it's mostly down to neglect and letting him dry out between waterings when I was quarantining him.
Please Note that when I water my calatheas I water a little bit more often, but I never soak them through (water thoroughly) like I would with most of my other plants.
I also have small stones in the bottom of my ceramic pot with a bit of water, which I use to create a little more humidity. This works really well for me, just make sure the water level is below the stones so that your plant isn't sitting in any water.
I do also fertilize regularly with a natural product called Seagro. I use less then half the recommended amount and use it every week or so, I don't use it with every watering on my calatheas as that can also cause crispy edges.
My Zebrina isn't perfect, but he sure has grown and its living a very happy healthy life... for now at least !!!
