Calathea Roseopicta Medallion Pink

Calathea roseopicta, commonly known as the Rose-Painted Calathea, is a beautiful tropical plant known for its striking foliage. Here’s a guide to caring for it:

1. Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch its leaves, while too little light can cause poor growth and reduced leaf color.
2. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. It’s best to use distilled or rainwater, as tap water can sometimes be too harsh.
3. Humidity: Thrives in high humidity. Aim for 50% or higher humidity. You can increase humidity by misting the plant regularly or using a humidity tray.
4. Temperature: Ideal temperatures are between 65-80°F (18-27°C). 
5. Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix. A mix designed for tropical plants or a combination of peat, pine bark, and perlite works well.
6. Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).
7. Pruning: Remove any yellowing or dead leaves to keep the plant healthy and encourage new growth.
8. Repotting: Repot every 1-2 years or when the plant outgrows its pot. This is best done in the spring.

With the right conditions, your Calathea roseopicta will thrive and add a touch of tropical beauty to your space
