Calathea orbifolia care
Goeppertia orbifolia
Huge round leaves with silver stripes that fold up at night. Gorgeous, a little demanding, and worth it.
Medium indirectKeep evenly moistFussySafe for cats and dogs
Light
Medium, indirect light. Direct sun fades the stripes and burns the leaf edges.
Watering
Keep the soil evenly moist but not wet. Use filtered, distilled or rain water; it's sensitive to the minerals in tap water.
Humidity and temperature
Wants 50% humidity or more and temperatures between 65 and 80°F. A humidifier makes a big difference.
Watch for
Leaves that curl inward mean it's thirsty. Crispy brown edges mean dry air or hard water.
