Calatheas grow on the rain forest floor, under layers of dense canopy, which blocks out most of the sun. As such, they don't like direct light, but do need a good amount of filtered light to keep their patterns vibrant. We recommend finding a shaded spot in a bright-ish room - such as a bedroom table or living room shelf

Care tip: mist your plant in the morning so it evaporates with the sun, over the course of the day, and the leaves don’t become soggy overnight

Calatheas like their soil slightly moist for most of the year, but don’t overdo it or the roots will rot away
