Distinct Features of Calathea Fasciata:

• The dark green undersides of the leaves provide an elegant contrast against the silvery tops, making this plant a visual showstopper.
• Compact size, ideal for smaller spaces like shelves or tabletops.

How to Care for Calathea Fasciata:

• Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its vibrant colors. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.
• Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging.
• Thrives in warm, humid environments, so it’s important to keep it in temperatures ranging from 65°F to 75°F (18°C to 24°C).

Propagation Tips:

• Propagate Calathea Fasciata by division. Carefully separate the plant’s rhizomes during repotting to ensure each division has a healthy root system.
• You can also propagate through stem cuttings, although division is the most successful method.

Preventing Pests and Diseases:

• Watch out for common pests like mealybugs, aphids, and spider mites. Treat with natural pest control methods such as neem oil.
• Ensure proper drainage to avoid root rot, a common issue with Calatheas if left in stagnant water.
