So true.. No matter how many times you killed them.. You just can't give up on them.. They are most beautiful plant i have ever seen.. But i learned from my mistakes.. They are doing petty fine now.. 😊
Than you and really we plant lovers can't just resist from bringing them home 😊

Yes absolutely..
I haven't learned as yet. Still buying and killing. One day...
Yes, the beautiful leaves attracted me at the store and now I am learning to care for these lovely tropical plants. Thank you for great advice!
Thank you 😊
Thank you so much, very informative video! I've gotten a Calathea just a week ago, precisely because I heard she's a diva among plants, so I called her Diva 😂 Good news is that I've been already following all the suggestions you mentioned, so I hope my plant will be happy, she's perky so far 😊 I've put her in a bathroom near my pothos plant, and since I work from home, I turn on the humidifier in the morning so I can create that moist, warm enviroment for them.
That's great 👍. Wish you a great time with Calatheas😊
Thank you for sharing such a detailed valuable information about Calatheas.
Thank you 😊
I left my Calathea in the car under the scorching sun and the plant got all cripply, sad, and struggling. Then I brought it home and placed it beside my bed, giving water and hiding it from the direct sun. But it kept drying out until now, where my area gets rained on twice a week. Now there is a new leaf!
Happy that you saved your plant ❤️.. they love moisture in air
@@PlantiFy Your video helped me a lot to understand why it was behaving such a way. Thank you! ❤️
@@17suki7o glad that it was helpful 😊
Thank you very much for beautiful video. It was told rain water is good. In this situation can we use stored rain water of one week old? The reason is rain water can't get all the time. In the absence of rain water can we use mineral water meant for drinking i.e., Bisleri drinking water which sold in India. Another thing can we use ground water instead of tap water as tap water contains chemicals.
Yes we can use rain water... you may use filter water also.. not sure about ground water though... Should be fine
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO! It’s definitive and provides all the information I was missing! I love Calatheas, but have killed at least 3! I just keep buying them.
Thank you 😊
Ur a life saver lol! Im a beginner and I just impulsively bought one the other day lol. She was so pretty I couldn’t resist. What have I gotten myself into 😅
😀😀 no plant lover could resist ...they are so pretty 😀
You are right on every point for the calatheas. They are really pretty but yes a lot of care requirements:( i don't have a calathea now..used to
Thanks 😊.. they keep me on my toes😀
Nice video with detailed explanation. I use to collect rain water whenever it rains & stored it in bottles. This stored rain water can be used?
Yes..rain water is good.
Thank you for valuable information mam 👍
😊thank you
Ma'am ,I kill more then 50 calathya plant.I think.. I can do that😅😅😅
What is "hard water"? Why calatheas don't like hard water?
I tend to view calatheas as long-lasting flower bouquets. I am often able to keep them alive for a period of time (1-4 years) but they eventually die on me.
But it is still cheaper than buying a flower bouquet a month.
😀that's a good way... Yah.. 4 years is a good span I think... Better to propagate them..my almost died Calathea s re-grow leaves during spring/monsoon..but they never grew that fuller..so I bought another.. another way to think them as season flowers😀.. I also have other priorities than Calatheas..they keep me on my toes
If I decide to get more they will definitely live in the bathroom.
One of makoyanas died and the other one I
Put in the bathroom and she’s doing great
Where did you get them in the first place?
I'm looking for them everywhere, every nursery and online. I have one stromanthe or triostar

Mere calethea ki tip brown ho rhi h kaise thk kre
Thanks for these tips. I made these mistakes too. Especially using tap water. 😢 I hope she survives.
Beautiful calathea plant and nice care tips 👍👍
Thank you ❤️❤️
U r very honest.. U r admitting your mistakes...
Thank you 😊.. Calathea care is really a subject to learn 😀
@@PlantiFyyaa its indeed a very risky plant..
Very helpful tips for growing calatheas!!
Thank you so much 😊😊
Beautiful plants so useful sharing dear friend Totally loving it 😍
Thank you so much ❤️❤️
That's a very unique and honest video based on personal experience. Even I have killed them but still want to bring again. Kindly let me know how to save them in extreme summers and winters of Northern India.
Thank you 😊 .. during summer, spay water regularly and water well when the soil is dry. In winter they go dormant, so water less, but try to keep humidity level high during dry months.. morning sun works well , but avoid strong or long sun exposure
@@PlantiFy Thankyou so much 💓
Very informative...just bought one..hope they thrive under my care !!
Thank you 😊 ...and best of luck for your new plant.. 😊
Very nice information stay in touch ☺❤
Thank you 😊❤️
do you recommend self watering system?
Not really... because that will not allow the soil to become at least semi dry in between watering
Thank you for your video. Your communication and demeanour are both very gentle and soothing.
Thank you 😊
Lovely helpful video. Thank you.
Thank you 😊
Thank you, I am new to growing callatheas so this was very helpful.
Thank you 😊
That was amazing. What I liked is that u pointed out ur mistakes. So that we will be aware of them👍🏻
some great info here and also some bad
@plantify HELP ! Does bottled water work for these plants or does it have to be distilled or rain water for them to thrive ???
Yes...bottled water should be be fine .
@@PlantiFy Thank you so much for your help, I will try that ! My Calathea seems suicidal lately, nothing I do seems to satisfy it !
@@frizzygrizzy25 they're like that...😀
My ctenanthe leaves are curling after propagation, how do i fix this problem? 😭
Please check if the new soil remaining wet for a long time
Omg thankyou so much! I didn’t know I was buying such a delicate plant. But how it started drying up and dying it was so heartbreaking for me i have been searching and thakGod cane across your video! Thankyou so much
Thank you 😊💚
i repotted it and it died , i watered it some revived and some remailed folded ...its high maintenance plant no doubt but i find it really beautiful to be aound my home
While repotting, we should not disturb the root ball much... they may grow back..I have one that bounced back ..new leaves started growing...will share one video on that if it grows back fully
I just brought a propageted Calethea plant in a nursery pot.....and it leaves have started curling inside....I don't know whether to repot it in a bigger pot or let it season itself for a couple of days...plz guide...thank u so much for explaining everything so nicely......
Please don't repot now..water less ...after checking the soil...but spray water
Very informative ❤
I love this plant so much, but couldn't ever keep them successfully, so I am literally afraid of buying them, but they ar so alluring, thats why whenever I go to Nursery I skip the corner of calathea literally like a blind person! I have gained some courage from your video, now next time I visit nursery i will definitely get a calathea and try keeping them with all your tips and tricks..
Thank you once again❤
Thank you so much 😊...yes, they are delicate...they need consistent care ... When we go on vacation or little busy, they just die😒
Where do you live......your plants r looking soooo healthy.....My Stromanthe triostar is dying after repotting....
I am in Kolkata, India.. soil should be well draining with cocopeat.
Very informative and nice presentation ❤
Thank you 😊
I have a Calathea from Home Depot that was growing in water. I still have it in water but want to transition it to soil soon.
Oh that's great..I never tried growing Calatheas in water.
Hindi me btayiye plese
Hi Suman ji.. I can't speak Hindi well, my mother tongue is Bengali. 🥺
So let's say you water your Calatheas today and tomorrow it rains. Do you still place them outside to get the rainwater??
😀 Not always.. need a little judgement... Sometimes if the soil is wet and it's raining, I put them under rain for a little while and move back.
Hi mam I have the same calathea plant you have the tall leaves with pink stripes not even one new leaf has come what could I do
Try to keep the plant in bright indirect light...best thing if you can provide early morning sunlight for an hour or so.
how to prevent from root rot tq
Soil should be well draining... you may refer to my calathea potting mix video...water only when the top soil is dry
Thanks so much!
I just fell in love with your personality und voice
Thank you 😊
hi i am in the uk. here we struggle with the light and humidity grow lights are a option. 🙂
Yes..and probably you need a humidifier...
Thank you❤
❤️
00:10 same i say them wile coming back to home from school 😁
😅
If rain water not available, can we use hydrogen peroxide 6ml to 1 ltr of water for the same purpose?
I never tried that, I use filter water
@@PlantiFy ok ji
I killed one 😭 now I'm scared to get another cos they are so costly n fussy
yes..they are really demanding and moody

hi
Can u tell me the soil mix and ratio .my leaves are curling i think soil is soggy
Soil should be well draining ... good amount of cocopeat with soil and sand . Water when top soil is dry. Approx ratio - cocopeat:sand:soil: vermicompost- 40: 20: 20: 20
Very informative video of calathias thanks for sharing good tips also
Thank you😊❤
This information is so helpful. Thank you.
Thank you 😊
Awesome
Thank you 😊😊
Thank you very much for very informative video.
As you suggested to keep a tray of marbles with water underneath of the calatheas plants. I would like to ask how much of water should be kept. If we keep more water, plant starts observing water and soil becomes soggy.
You are currect.. the pot should not touch the water..that's why putting pebbles..to give the pots some height
Nice info👍🏻..stay connected dear
Thank you..stay connected ❤️
Nice information 👍🏻
Thank you 😊❤️
I did the same mistakes.
😊 these plants are crazy 😀
It's such a valuable information. Thanks for sharing
Thank you 😊
Good collection of calathea
Very useful tips shared
Thank you 😊❤️
I’m wondering if this type of plant would benefit from a self watering pot. I bought a prayer plant some odd green variety and put it in a self watering plant pot and it doing amazingly well. I find some plants don’t do well in a self watering pot because they don’t like the consistent moisture I just bought a new calathea and I’m going to put it in a self watering pot hopefully it will do well.
Thanks for the idea.. please let us know how your plant is doing in self watering pot...I can then also try...and the community will get an idea...
Hi
In one of my plants few leaves are curling. Soil is moist and is in well drained soil.
I live in kolkata. Can you help me.
Do u mist the plants everyday or in a gap
Everyday during dry season... Now a days not misting as it is monsoon..but during the dry spell in monsoon it may happen..if old leaves are curling, don't worry..new leaves should come out healthy.
Can you help me... I m facing lots of problem
@@shuklagorai7744 share the details please..soil mix, where you keep it, when repotted etc
Great information. Thanks for sharing your experience. Keep it up.
Thank you 😊
Very informative video
Thank you 😊
Mam how to care them in winter?
Low humidity is the main problem in winter in India..as the temperature is not too low in India. ..so increasing the humidity around the plants will help... And it should be consistent..so a humidifier or water tray would help..and please group the plants together..water frequently but in small quantity by spraying..and water thoroughly when the soil is dry.
@@PlantiFy thnx mam.
Thank you for your wonderful help.❤
Thank you 😊
What about water from well?
Depends on the hardness of the water...but better than tap water for sure 😀
@@PlantiFy tap water which come from well?
Yesterday i re potted calathea which had burn leaves and was root bound.. So I seperated them, then loosen their roots and washed it and kept it in water for few hours and then re pot them with fresh soil and water it.. But today all leaves are drooping.. 😕🤔...
@@nabeela9327 I killed one Calathea Ornata while repotting , I removed all nursery soil and washed its roots..so now I just report without disturbing the roots at all
Thank U soooooo much 🥰❣️🥰❣️🥰❣️🌿
You’re welcome 😊
Same problem... thanks for your help ❤️
Glad that it helped 😊
How much water need those
sprinkle or spray water daily, and water the soil when the soil is almost dry but not bone dry
I see your video is inspired by Planterina.
I wish I could grow huge plants like her... She is a master... I am learning every day 😊
@@PlantiFy yup I am also fan of those lush green bushy hanging plants🙂
Can we grow calthia by cutting
I have not tried it yet.. thanks for raising this 👍..will try sometimes.

Can I use cowdung liquid fertilizer
I have never used that - used seaweed solution instead. Diluted.
@@PlantiFy but it's not available in our local.... it's hard to find.. I have Dap fertilizer
@@flinthmar7994 DAP is best for flowering plants.. then you may use vermicompost or balanced npk... You may try applying cowdung liq very diluted.. be alert for fungal attack..spray fungicide once a month
@@PlantiFy thanks alot...I just followed you in your insta

I bought calathiya for my sister in law. I am taking big risk here. I decided to give calathiya plant for her and calathiya are very pretty and fussy plant. I found your video described about your experience very well. I shared this video to her. So she can take care her calathiya well.😊
Happy to know that.. ❤️... Calatheas are demanding plants..they need just right amount of water..not much not less..all the best for your mom in law.. hope her calatheas will thrive 😊
