Calathea Leopardina Care (Graduate Student)
About Me
For calathea leopardina care, FamiPlants.com is the perfect place to turn. This tropical perennial plant enjoys bright, indirect light and prefers a soil mix with good drainage. When watering calathea leopardina plants, it's important to water until there's slight runoff in the first few inches of soil and to make sure it is not sitting in constant moisture. As for temperature, calatheas should be kept between 70-80°F during the day and 65-75°F during the night for best results. As far as humidity goes, calathea require at least 50% relative humidity levels if grown indoors or in arid areas. During spring or summer months outdoors these can easily be maintained by misting foliage with lukewarm water. Fertilize calathea once a month and repot every 2-3 years when needed. Pruning should only be done minimally; cut any overgrown stems back to the base in order to keep your calathea looking healthy and attractive. Propagation is done through division of rhizomes each spring or via taking stem cuttings in warmer temperatures. Common pests associated with calatheas are mealybugs, aphids and spider mites - all which should be sprayed off from foliage periodically using insecticidal soap spray or neem oil solution and frequent monitoring of leaves for signs of disease such as edema and fungal leaf spots must also occur to prevent further damages from occurring if caught early enough. Additionally, yellow streaking on the foliage indicative of too much direct light exposure are common problems - this can be remedied by completely draping curtains over southern/western facing windows or relocating your calathea elsewhere inside your home away from direct sunlight rays as it can severely damage its beauty if neglected over prolonged periods of time!
