Care InstructionsFor watering, check the top 2-3 inches of soil weekly, ensuring it's dry before watering; reduce frequency to once a week in winter. Maintain moderate humidity by grouping with other plants or using a humidifier to avoid crispy brown leaf edges. When repotting Calathea orbifolia, choose a pot 2 to 3 inches larger, filling around the original soil. This plant prefers humid, tropical climates, resembling South American rainforests, and is not winter-hardy, intolerant of temperatures below 5°C.
