Frequently asked questions
Calathea Vittata
Are the white stripes damage?
Fine regular pale striping is normal. Irregular new scorched patches differ from the plant's repeating pattern.
How much shelf space should I allow?
The original listing describes roughly 20 cm height and width. Allow extra room for leaf movement and future growth.
Can I wipe the narrow leaves?
Yes, gently support each leaf and use a soft damp cloth; do not scrub across the delicate surface.
Why does the small pot dry quickly?
Airflow, pot size and heat change drying speed. Move away from hot glass and check the root ball rather than following a fixed weekly schedule.
