Calathea Dottie (Calathea roseoptica 'Dottie' )is easily distinguishable by its almost black leaves & vivid pink variegation.
☀️ Place your Calathea where it can receive bright, indirect light. Avoid putting your plant where it can receive direct sunlight as this canburn its leaves. Lower light conditions will result in slower growth, faded leaf color, and you may also see smaller leaves or large spaces between the leaves.
💧 Maintain moist soil and water once the surface of the soil starts to dry. Watering frequency depend on brightness of light. Water with distilled water, rainwater or bottled if possible. They do not like minerals in tap water.
🙏 Calatheas are able to move their leaves in response to changes in light conditions.
🚿 Humidity is one of the most important things to focus on to keep your Calathea happy. If your plant is starting to show signs of brown leaf edges or tips, this is a sign of low humidity. Humidity of 60% or higher is usually what allows these plants to thrive. They do really well in bathrooms with lots of sunlight.
🌡 Tropical houseplants do well indoors because they can acclimate to the same temperature range as humans. For best growth, keep your peacock plants in a room where temperatures are between 60°F-75ºF, avoiding any sudden drops in temperature OR drafts from AC/Heater vents.
