In this video, we have another diva plant to talk about—Calathea. With its beautiful large leaves and rich colors, Calathea is your ultimate statement plant. These plants love filtered water (yes, it's a Brita fan while I’m stuck with tap water).
I will be sharing tips about their preferred watering, humidity, and light exposure. I'll also go over some common problems these plants have and how to fix them.
And thanks to our sponsor, Proven Winners, we'll also explore the diverse range of Calathea varieties!
