CARE:
Light: Provide bright, indirect light for your Calathea makoyana. It thrives in medium to bright, indirect light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves and cause damage.

Temperature: Maintain a temperature range between 65°F to 75°F (18°C to 24°C) for optimal growth. Avoid exposure to cold drafts or sudden temperature fluctuations.

Humidity: Calathea makoyana prefers high humidity. Aim for a humidity level of at least 50% or higher. Increase humidity by misting the plant, using a humidifier, or placing the pot on a humidity tray.

Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Calathea prefers slightly more consistent moisture. Water when the top inch of the soil is dry, but do not allow the plant to sit in water.

Soil: Use a well-draining, peat-based potting mix to ensure good aeration and moisture retention. Repot the Calathea makoyana when it outgrows its current container or every year during the growing season.
