💡 Calathea Dottie Care Tips

☀️ Light

Place it in bright, indirect light, away from direct sunlight, which could damage or fade its foliage.

💧 Watering

Keep the potting mix slightly moist, but not waterlogged. Water when the surface begins to dry out, then allow excess water to drain away. Use lukewarm water with low mineral content if possible.

🌡️ Temperature

It prefers a stable temperature, ideally between 18 and 26°C. Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature fluctuations.

💦 Humidity

The Calathea Dottie appreciates high ambient humidity. A humidifier can help in dry indoor environments and reduce browning of the leaf tips.

🌱 Potting Mix and Repotting

Choose a rich, airy, and well-draining potting mix in a pot with drainage holes. Repot only when the roots are short of space, preferably during the growing season.

🧑‍🌾 Difficulty Level

Intermediate ⭐⭐⭐☆☆: this plant requires regular attention to humidity, water quality, and watering.
