Golden Mosaic Calathea Pilosa 6" plant FREE SHIPPING

Description: Golden Mosaic Calathea Pilosa 6" plant FREE SHIPPING The Golden Mosaic plant, also known as Ctenanthe lubbersiana, is a beautiful houseplant with striking variegated leaves. Here's a breakdown of how to care for it: Light: Bright indirect light is ideal. It can tolerate some direct sun, but avoid harsh afternoon rays that can scorch the leaves.East or north-facing windows are good spots. South or west facing windows might be okay if there's some sheer curtain diffusing the light.Low light can make the plant leggy and lose its variegation. Watering: Aim for evenly moist soil, but not soggy. Let the top inch of soil dry out slightly between waterings.Avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot.Water deeply when watering, allowing excess water to drain from the pot's drainage holes.Reduce watering in winter when the plant is growing less. Humidity: Golden Mosaic prefers moderate to high humidity (around 40-70%). Dry air can cause brown leaf edges.Group your Golden Mosaic with other plants to increase humidity around it.Use a pebble tray with water near the plant or a humidifier. Temperature: Ideally, keep temperatures between 60-80°F (16-27°C).Avoid letting the temperature drop below 60°F (16°C).Keep the plant away from drafts, cold windows, air conditioners, and heaters. Soil and Fertilizing: Use a well-draining potting mix. Aroid mix or a mix with perlite or vermiculite for aeration is good.Fertilize during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced houseplant fertilizer diluted to half strength once a month.Avoid fertilizing in winter. Pruning: You can prune your Golden Mosaic to remove leggy stems, brown leaves, or to encourage bushier growth.Use sharp, clean pruners to make cuts. With proper care, your Golden Mosaic plant should thrive and bring a touch of the tropics to your home. If you notice any drooping leaves, yellowing leaves, or leaf curling, it can be a sign of underwatering, overwatering, or inadequate light. Adjust your care routine accordingly.
