Calatheas are known for their bold patterned foliage. The leaves of most Calathea varieties fold up slightly during the night time, revealing the often colorful undersides of their striking leaves.
Light
Your Calathea Medallion will do best in medium to bright indirect light. Never allow this plant to stand in the direct sunlight—the leaves will get sunburned!
Water
For best results, maintain a regular watering schedule and keep your Calathea Medallion moist, but not wet or saturated. This is not a drought tolerant indoor plant, but it is relatively forgiving if you forget to water it from time to time. Extended periods of dryness can result in brown leaf tips or edges.
Care level
These plants need high maintenance.
Pet-friendly
Safe for cats and dogs.
