Frequently asked questions
Calathea Dottie
Will Dottie stay pink in a dark corner?
Choose bright filtered daylight. Dark leaves do not mean the plant can grow without useful light.
Why are leaves lifting at night?
Prayer-plant leaves change angle through the day. Normal movement is different from persistent curling with dry edges.
Can I polish the dark leaves?
Use a soft damp cloth and support the leaf. Avoid coatings and vigorous rubbing over the patterned surface.
Do crispy edges mean it needs more fertiliser?
Check humidity, moisture, water quality and salts first. Fertiliser will not repair dead leaf edges.
