Calathea Triostar

Calathea Triostar Care Guide

Light

Calathea Triostar thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can cause the vibrant colors of the leaves to fade and burn.

Water

Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, typically 1-2 times per week depending on the conditions. Use room temperature water to avoid shocking the plant, and ensure proper drainage to prevent root rot.

Humidity

Maintain high humidity levels, ideally between 50-60%. You can increase humidity by misting the leaves regularly, using a humidifier, or placing the plant on a pebble tray filled with water.

Temperature

Calathea Triostar prefers temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C). Protect it from cold drafts and sudden temperature fluctuations.

Fertilizer

Feed Calathea Triostar with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Avoid fertilizing during the winter months when growth slows down.

Toxicity

Calathea Triostar is non-toxic to pets and humans, making it a safe choice for households with pets and children.

Additional Care Information

Use a well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter to ensure proper drainage and aeration for the roots. Rotate the plant occasionally to promote even growth and prevent it from leaning towards the light source.

Troubleshooting

Leaf Curling: Curling leaves can indicate underwatering or low humidity. Adjust your watering routine and increase humidity levels. Leaf Browning or Yellowing: This can be caused by overwatering, underwatering, or exposure to cold drafts. Check the soil moisture and adjust your care routine accordingly. Brown Leaf Tips: Brown tips can be a sign of dry air, excess fertilizer, or salt buildup in the soil. Increase humidity, flush the soil with water to remove excess salts, and avoid overfertilizing.
