You CAN Save Your Calathea White Fusion was one of my first videos that really resonated with people and I'm still super happy with it. If you're looking for additional care tips for your calathea white fusion you can find the video here: ruclips.net/video/HVAeSfOBKrY/видео.html
Thanks for watching!
Update of a saving trial for my white fusion ! OMG YOU GUYZ I FOUND THE WAYYY (thanks to the woman that commented it here). So it's been 2 days i put a grow light in my bathroom (calathea likes it MOIST to prevent browning tips) because i didnt want to buy a terrarium i find it gets dirty really quickly and sometimes smell, if the plant grows too much you can't get it out without hurting... WELL. I put that beauty in the bathroom right next to the growing plant (u can actually change the light for a growing one just go buy a socket, got mine at Rona) so it fits in there. AND MY PRECIOUS IS THRIVING FOR 2 DAYS it seems she appreciate A LOT cause she turn her magnificitent leaves to the light and unrolled the ones that were starting to roll back. I'm just so happy, cross my fingers and tell her everyday how gorgeous she is and how much I want her to survive ! ♡♡♡
I got a white fusion a couple of months ago & it’s been happily living outside where its in a pretty sheltered position & gets late afternoon sun. Although this seems to be working now, I worry I’ll have to rethink its placement in winter 🤔
I bought a White Fusion that had about 13 leaves. I've cut away 8 leaves because they just turned yellow on me on a daily. I'm currently left with 3 tiny leaves and 2 little sprouts. It sure is a princess!
I’m a new Calathea mom and boy is it making my hair turn grey. I didn’t realize how much water it needs and today I thought it was a goner. I watered it this morning and now it’s like nothing ever happened. The edges have slight crisping but I think it’s due to the watering. It’s right next to a Bunyan’s a heater. It seems to be pretty happy there!
I have one grows happily in my flat for 6 months, without any special treatments. She is my love at first sight. And I think she loves me too.
I'm not doing any research on this princess cause I don't have any problems with it. It sits still with indirect sunlight, moist soil, and humid environment which is never a problem since I lived in Indonesia, a tropical area.
On March 2020 I leave the city back to my hometown to visit my parents, and got stuck here for corona virus pandemic. I leave her on my friend, with no idea at all that she'll act out, and not get along well with her new environment.
She had grown small and reverted. It broke my heart.
I don't know if she'll ever got her variegation back, or if she'll live long enough to meet me again. But I promise to grow a lot more white fusions and make a jungle out of them.
I have been some that does revert which is really strange to me because that one i have has never done this and as you know my conditions in the pacific north west is far from a tropical forest. Maybe try getting the plant from other places to see if you can find a stable one! Good luck!
I nearly killed one I picked up that wasn't labeled (glad to know now it's a white fusion, thanks!) and finally put it under a cloche I had forever & never used, lol! Now it's doing great!! I love the large jar idea, will try it, but I will definitely keep it covered to protect from pests. -- Cocoa puffs... you're right, lol! You could try pumice instead.
It had a tough ride home on the scooter and was propagated quite soon after. It almost died in the process but it is feeling so much better after I watered it with distilled Water only. The big leafs are crispy now, but no sign of parasites for now. It ist with me for 2 weeks now.
Thank you for this video! I lol'ed at your cocoa puffs comparison, I'd never thought of them that way but you're right they do! ughhh Calatheas, a labor of love for sure : )
Thank you! =) yes but I have actually found begonias to be even harder to keep. I think its because I don't water them enough =(
No wonder my white fusion always has brown leaves. The more plants I collect, the more I realize which is best for my current environment. We may not be plant killers; we just don’t have the appropriate environment for the plant we are growing.
yeah, which is why we should be proud of them for doing so well in our homes, where its is less than ideal for them! =)💚💚💚
Have had my white fusion for a week and a half, its in the middle of my room with decent lighting and under the humidifier and i've noticed it praying a lot more. It had browning from the store and i haven't noticed any more. Fingers crossed it remains healthy
sending you 💚💚
I got my white fusion from a nursery in Hawaii. It was love at first sight. The person giving me a tour of the nursery warned me that they are divas and I was like “hey, I can grow almost anything”. I bought a few different calatheas on that trip. I week later they showed up in Oregon. It’s been three months and the calathea struggle is real! Damn, it’s been quite a humbling experience. These precious, little pains in the ass are challenging as hell!
I’m going to try your terrarium method. It’s worked for some other delicate plants and I hadn’t even thought of it. Thanks for giving me one shred of hope that I won’t slowly murder these beauties.
lol true diva! i feel like calatheas are just not very adaptable 😂 I feel like if you don't live in a tropical place where its warm and humid they are just a pain. I have put a lot of them in terrariums and they are a lot happier. I'm tempted to make a giant glass case and throw all my plants in there lol 😂💚
@@BotanicalWoman не думаю, что для калатей значение влажности так критично. И при 30-35% им нормально. Сейчас у нас очень жарко (28- 30С). Приходится каждое утро и вечер делать обход, осторожно поливать. Поэтому решил перейти на фитильный полив, и калатеям это явно больше нравится.
I impulse bought a calathea white fusion because I saw it on Etsy and fell in love oops, and I got a good deal for it because it was "cosmetically damanaged" ($20 flat with free shipping) and didn't realize the diva I just invited to live in my house. So currently she is sitting under my growlights surrounded on all sides by my orchids who are in self watering pots full of sphagnum moss (the wicking kind so the moss does not sit in water) and I'm hoping that keeps humidity up for her but I'm getting a hygrometer and humidifier just in case (I'm sure the miltoniopsis will appreciate that too). On pins and needles because I see new leaves coming out and am constantly checking for browning or drying tips because I want her to thrive under my care and replace all her already browned crispy leaves from the seller.
I have 4 calathea and the one that is healthy is the one i put in lecca..
What is that coco puff looking thing called? I’m getting a terrarium kit today for my white fusion diva after watching your other video. Thanks
Leca!
I realized I wasn't killing my plant, the spider mites that hitched a ride through shipping did. I had no idea and now am trying to treat all my plants ughhhhh
I'm sure you googled the answers here is too I found. I'd say it is number 1. Well you sure took care of no bugs bothering your plant. Great job!
1. Like many tropical indoor plants, calathea prefers a spot with low to medium light and abundant humidity. If the air is too dry or the plant dries out too frequently, the leaf edges may turn brown and crispy.
2.Curling Leaves - your plant is cold and thirsty! ... After 12-24 hours, watch the leaves unfurl.
3.Indirect light - Calathea plants need bright, but not direct, sunlight to grow. ... In fact, direct sunlight will burn the leaves of a Calathea plant and cause it to lose its vibrant colors.
Actually, the white fusion can take a bit of direct sun because of how white it is. Mines got direct sun for several hours over the summer and it loved it. But yes, its true for other calatheas. Thank you for watching.
I'd never want to own a plant that wants high humidity. I like it as 35-50% Great for me and most house plants. Too much work, and if you have to work at the humidity to keep it right, that means you can't go away unless someone is there to fill the humidifier. Windows look like they are steamed up and for homes not good for wood to be damp all the time around the windows. What you did with it's own controlled humidity container is wonderful!!!!
@@BotanicalWoman You know how to take care of your plant not to let it get too much or too strong. Mos newbies might not, but they will find out as you did.
I am actually thinking of making a greenhouse like thing with the shelves i have now. But i agree, it would be nice to not have to worry about the humidity constantly. Time to move to Hawaii? Florida?
Note to self: When making any change to a plant's environment, either its lighting or humidity, introduce slowly. =)
Ugh, mine isn't doing well. I had it on a table in the foyer but thought maybe it was too cold and drafty. Moved it upstairs to a room with morning sun. Many leaves are still curled and a bit crisp. Hope she likes her new room better 🤷🏼♀️
More light will definitely make it happier and is also sounds like more humidity would help as well. good luck
Oh crap! 🤦🏼♀️ I just bought one of these little beauties today. I had no idea what I was getting into. I don’t know that much about calathea, well, I know nothing. So I immediately got her into an area with good morning light, her own little humidifier, some other humidity loving plant friends, and sitting by a try of pebbles in water. Sheesh, I’m screwed.
lol such a diva with its own humidifier! I found it best it a terrarium because it keeps the humidity nice and high. Its not impossible, its just a bit of a pain. enjoy it! its such a beauty.
I just got one from a plant swap and a couple people were making sure I knew what I was getting into. I confidently said yes because I have a rattlesnake and a rehabbed triostar that's currently thriving...
This princess has the audacity to be so demanding in this house. 😆😭
trueDIVA
Yes I have one of these plants. No it is not doing well. Browning, fading, hurting. I know it’s the lack of humidity, but my BF insists on running a dehumidifier all hours of the day in the downstairs. It’s an ongoing battle
Sorry about your BF, get a enclosed jar or terrarium is probably best, i stopped using my humidifiers as i don't think they are very effective in our homes.
This was SO helpful! Thank you for your tips. Could you by any chance point me in the direction of where to get a terrarium like the one you have? The ones I've been finding are all very small, I'd love to have a large one to keep my girly happy but also lookin cute!
i got my first one from target and the jar i got from anko. honestly, i just keep looking around. home good stores, tjmaxx. they are hard to come by
I love my Calathea White Fusion! Not sure why she gets such a bad name. I keep mine in my bathroom and she is thriving, growing, looks amazing and doesn’t have any crispy edges. Move her to your bathroom. Problem solved.
If you are lucky to have good light in your bathroom then yeah...nice and humid
My bathroom is very bright through out the day so I’m gonna maybe move it over there- altho I love having it in my room- it has one sad looking leaf and I will not let it get worse!!
A Homeless Ghost it’s all it needs! I have a big window above my tub and my shower is next to the tub. The humidity from your showers and the light will keep it happy. I have so much new growth since moving it to the bathroom. My sisters bathroom doesn’t have good light and hers is thriving and looking gorgeous as well.
Botanical Woman it is the best spot for mine. She’s happy. These plants can be divas for sure.
I was thinking about replacing my bathroom light by a growing light u just convinced me to go with that idea and put my white fusion there ! Thanks
What kind of water do you use for your calatheas? I've been using filtered water because thats all I have. But I know that some recommend distilled water.
just good old seattle tap!
I use filtered water in all of my indoor plants. Put it in empty gallon without d lid/cover on. let it sit for 2 days so that all those bad chemicals will sink. Then you’ll finally be able 2 use it 2 water your babies. 🙏
Getting my first Calathea (which is also a White Fusion) this week. I'm scared to death that I'm gonna kill it and they are very expensive where I live so the stakes are high. Wish me luck! xD
Good luck! give it humidity and bright light and it will love you!
How is your Fusion doing since being put into that container? That is A LOT of Leca!! LOL. I have 2 that their leaves are getting brown along the edges. I think I am going to rearrange the room so they are closer to the windows and humidifier. They are about 8 feet from the humidifier now and I think that is too far. And I want to try putting them closer to my south facing windows. Those windows have "Low-e" glass that was sold to me as it won't fad fabrics, and no one can tell me how that would effect plants. So I am just gonna try putting them closer to the windows. But I am interested to know if you kept it in that jar.
spider mites ending up killing it. I got to it too late. I think a closed terrarium would be a lot better
You can get different colored leca!
Hi! Thanks a lot for the video! I'm currently trying to save mine. I have watched your two videos, but I'm still having troubles finding the right humidity level. First it started to get crispy, so I put a transparent plastic bag on it (could'nt find a nice terrarium), but it get all worse: condensation on the leaves, they became transparent! So I removed the plastic bag and put them on clay balls with water below. Not sure this will be enough humidity, maybe yours with the top open is the right solution.
Hello! Yeah a clear box would work a lot better so the condensation stays off the leaves. I mainly use storage boxes that i get from Ikea/Walmart. Like every plant, you will need to give it time to adjust. as you saw in my most recent vid, it just needs time to adjust to its new environment. If you want to connect with me on IG, I can try to help you further if you send me pics! Best of Luck! and keep me posted!
I’m thinking about adding a white fusion. It sounds like I should wait given that it is sensitive to lack of humidity. I have two: ornata and peacock and they’re doing well. I have a feeling because of the white variegation it might be sensitive to lack of humidity. I’d love to hear your thoughts.
you are correct
hi i just bought a calathea and it has a tiny leaves like yours, im too nervous and im wondering if it will it grow and the leaves will become big, since i just got it the store owner told me to just put fertilizer so itll grow and not on indirect light , it has crispy edges already when i bought it so im keeping it away from window and on top of my bookshelf, its in the 4 inch pot for now, any tips will be appreciated
this plant needs high light and humidity. crispy edges is a sign that the humidity is too low. i talk a lot more about how i care for this plant in my first calathea video. ruclips.net/video/HVAeSfOBKrY/видео.html
I was cleaning my white star today and it had like a purple residue coming off. Do you know why that might be?
i have never had that happen so no...interesting. but i guess as long as the plant is healthy. did you spray anything on it that may cause that to happen?
help, my white fusion is losing the purples behind the leaves,what's happening?
more light
@@BotanicalWoman THANKS
That’s a lot of Lecca!
I bought the biggest bag you can find and believe it not I am out now!
I hope this isn`t a dumb question, but are you going to close that vase in some way? Or is it gonna stay open on top? :/
i left it open and it was doing fine until spidermites almost killed it. so from a humidity sense it was doing a good job.
@@BotanicalWoman spider mites are gross, but in my experience, neemoil always eliminates them after just one single treatment. I even spray some plants in advance to prevent attacks.
CWF is my holy grail plant, it is extremely rare in my country (Norway). I am a member of multiple houseplant communities and so far I've only come across two people in the whole country who have a CWF. After two years of actively searching for it, I won an auction for a tiny baby white fusion yesterday! 😄 It cost me 1000 kr (approx. $100) but since I live in a very humid climate with 300 days of rain a year, I might just have a chance to keep it alive and happy. 😊🌱
@@ellievervotte9272 Thank you for sharing. I had no idea that its so hard to find in Norway. I have cut mines back twice now and it does come back, just know that as the last resort.
I just watched your update and was wondering if this plant will grow in water?
I think ppl have tired, i am honestly now sure. there is only one way to find out! try it! =)
I clicked on the vase link and it says 404 error :( is there another link ?!
i would go directly to anko.com
my girls not doin well ;(
Humidity! And look for spider mites!
Check out this link to an interview with a pro on what she uses for all her plants and 30 years experience with rare plants and variegated. ruclips.net/video/0xIlhQYLUk0/видео.html I hope it helps you. I'm sure it will.
Thank you for sharing!
The plant is pampered too much. It would fare batter being around other plants huddled closely together creating a natural humid environment.
Like in a jungle 😂
This plant is the worst plant I’ve ever had!
it definitely doesn't belong in my apt! lol
That one and the stromanthe tristar. Beautiful but too fastidious. I bought a humidifier as my last resort. Seriously frustrated w this plant.
D Z I agree I will not buy any more calathea, anthuriums or peperomia I’m happy with what I have & they’re happy in terrariums.
