Calathea Crimson Web® Care Tips
Light
Place the plant in moderate to bright indirect light, away from intense direct sunlight that could burn or discolor the foliage. Also avoid very dark areas.
Watering
Keep the growing medium slightly moist, never waterlogged. Water when the surface begins to dry and allow excess water to drain away. If your water is very hard, opt for soft or filtered water. Reduce watering during cooler periods.
Humidity and Temperature
A relatively high ambient humidity promotes beautiful foliage. Choose a location away from drafts, at an ideal temperature of 18 to 27°C, avoiding temperatures below 15°C. A humidifier can be useful when the air is very dry.
Growing Medium and Repotting
Use a light, airy, and well-draining growing medium, composed, for example, of indoor plant potting mix and perlite. The pot must have drainage holes. Repot into a slightly larger container when the roots have fully colonized the small pot.
Fertilizer
In spring and summer, you may apply a moderately dosed fertilizer for green plants, according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Reduce or suspend feeding in winter.
Colors and Growth
The pink, purple, and dark shades may change with the age of the leaves, the light levels, and the season. New leaves may appear curled before unfurling: this is normal.
Precautions
Avoid overwatering and sudden temperature fluctuations. Regularly check the underside of the leaves for any potential pests.
