Frequently asked questions

Are Calathea plants easy to grow indoors?

Yes! Calatheas are low maintenance once they settle into their spot. They prefer indirect light and regular watering when the topsoil feels dry. With a little added humidity — like a pebble tray or occasional misting — they thrive beautifully indoors.

How often should I water my Calathea plant?

Water your Calathea when the top inch of soil feels dry — usually every 5 to 7 days. Avoid overwatering, as Calatheas dislike soggy roots. Using room-temperature water or letting tap water sit overnight helps prevent leaf-tip browning.

Are Calathea plants safe for pets?

Yes, Calatheas are non-toxic to cats and dogs, making them a great choice for pet-friendly homes. They are one of the few indoor plants that look stunning without posing any risk to your furry family members.

Can I keep a Calathea in a room with low light?

Calatheas do well in low to medium indirect light and are perfect for rooms without direct sunlight, like bedrooms or north-facing balconies. Some bright indirect light will keep their beautiful leaf patterns vivid and healthy.

Which Calathea variety is best for beginners?

The Calathea Roseopicta Medallion and Calathea Zebrina are our top picks for beginners. Both are forgiving, adapt well to Indian home conditions, and are among our best sellers. They are easy to grow and reward you with stunning foliage all year round.
