"Sol" (Calathea Pilosa)
(Sol comes ready-to-gift nestled in a bright yellow ceramic planter)
Calathea pilosa is a stunning, low-maintenance plant known for its unique, velvety leaves with distinctive textures and patterns. Here's how to keep it thriving:
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves.
- Water: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Use filtered or distilled water to prevent fluoride buildup.
- Humidity: Thrives in high humidity. Regular misting or a humidity tray can help maintain the ideal environment.
- Temperature: Enjoys temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Avoid drafts and sudden temperature changes.
- Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix, such as one designed for tropical plants.
