Also known as the Prayer Plant. The Calathea Flamestar is native to the tropical rainforests of Brazil.
LIGHTING
A medium light is perfect for The calathea flamestar. If he is placed in a bright room, keep him away from any windows as the bright sun will burn his leaves or cause them to curl. While Buzz likes medium light he will be tolerant of lower light in the winter months when sunlight is minimal.
WATERING
The calathea flamestar prefers small amounts of water on a regular basis so it’s best to check his soil weekly to make sure it doesn’t dry out too much. Getting the balance may be tricky as he won’t like his soil to completely dry out or be too soggy. In the winter time you can reduce his watering schedule to once a week but always check his soil is dry before you water him.
HUMIDITY
The Calathea flamestar is from a very humid climate and will appreciate high levels of humidity. To replicate his natural habitat you can place him next to a humidifier, group him with other humidity loving plants, use a pebble tray or place him in a bathroom.
TEMPERATURE
The perfect indoor temperature for the Calathea flamestar is between 18-24 degrees celsius. As long as the indoor temperature doesn't dip lower than 18°C Buzz will be happy. He will not recover from cold damage so keep him warm.
