• The undersides of the leaves are a rich purple color, enhancing its visual appeal.
• A relatively compact growth habit, making it a good choice for both small and large spaces.

How to Care for Calathea Medallion:

• Prefers bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, so place it in a location with filtered light.
• Keep the soil moist but not soggy, and always ensure it is well-draining to avoid root rot.
• Ideal temperature range for growth is 65°F to 75°F (18°C to 24°C), and it thrives in high humidity, so regular misting can help.

Propagation of Calathea Medallion:

• The best method of propagation is division during repotting. Carefully separate the rhizomes, ensuring each section has roots.
• Stem cuttings are also an option but may not root as easily as rhizome division.

Pest and Disease Prevention:

• Keep an eye out for common pests like aphids, mealybugs, and spider mites. Treat with neem oil or insecticidal soap to prevent infestations.
• To avoid root rot, ensure good drainage and avoid letting the plant sit in water.
