Care Guide
Calathea Burle Marx Hanging BasketSouth America
Plant Care
Thrives in medium to bright indirect light. Not suited for direct sun, but can tolerate lower light conditions.
Water every 1-2 weeks, allowing soil to dry out halfway between waterings. Expect to water more often in brighter light conditions. This plant can benefit from extra humidity. Calatheas can be sensitive to hard tap water. Try using filtered water or leaving water out overnight before using.
This is a pet friendly plant.
Calatheas exhibit a phenomenon known as nyctinasty. They move their leaves from day to night as a part of their circadian rhythm.
