Houseplant clinic: Help! My calathea is so temperamental
Briefly

Calatheas, also known as Goeppertia or prayer plants, are sensitive tropical plants that require specific care to thrive. They thrive in environments with high humidity, warm temperatures, and filtered light. Common issues with Calatheas arise from low humidity, over-drying of the soil, or exposure to hard tap water. To maintain their health, it is advised to increase humidity through various methods, ensure the soil is consistently moist, and avoid drafts and direct sunlight. With proper environmental conditions, Calatheas can showcase their unique foliage and flourish in domestic settings.
Calatheas, now reclassified as Goeppertia, are delicate plants that thrive in consistent humidity and warmth, making them sensitive to environmental changes.
To maintain a happy Calathea, keep humidity levels high, avoid direct sunlight, and water with filtered water, while ensuring the soil is moist but not soggy.
