My favorite part of my rattlesnake calathea is that it puts itself to sleep at night and then wakes up in the morning. Mine also almost died after a housesitter missed watering it for two weeks, but it’s back and growing like crazy!
My ornata died 6 months after I got it and it grew back 6 months later. So they do grow back and all my calatheas seem to take time to adjust to your home conditions and I’m in Colorado. I will be getting a humidifier also
I bought 2 rufibarbas one year ago and I figured out they had some kind of fungus in them. They were getting a lot of crispy tips. So I cut off all those damaged leaves and sprayed with neem and the crispy tip problem went away. So sometimes it’s a fungus issue. I only water with filtered but I’m going to change to distilled soon
As a newbie plant owner/new sub, I came across your channel a week or so ago and have already learned so much from you. I got 2 calathea roseopicta rosy starter plants that haven't been doing well at all (both are down to one leaf that are also not doing great) so I am doing what I can to figure things out and hopefully they will start to bounce back with Spring being here now lol. Thank you for sharing all of your knowledge, tips & tricks!
You’re welcome! Just double check that the roots still look healthy. If they do then the plant can bounce back. The only thing they may not be able to bounce back from is root rot, or just going WAY to long without watering to the point that the roots shrivel up and die.
@@Aquamarine.Aubrey Yes they are! But in my experience they are less problematic than Calathea and I get more questions specifically on Calathea which is why this particular video was Calathea specific. But I do have a video on how I care for ALL prayer plant family plants (maranta included) if you would like to check that out (it’s one of the earlier videos I did on UA-cam so excuse the lack of editing experience🫣): Prayer Plant Care | How to successfully care for Calathea, Maranta, Ctenanthe, and Stromanthe ua-cam.com/video/xTmi-t61jAQ/v-deo.html
@@AlohaPlantLife thanks so much for you reply and link to this video. I'm pretty sure I've already watched it. But I'll probably watch it again 🤣 I'm wanting to convert my maranta to leca and/ or pon. Thanks for all your videos! Love them! 💚
OMG, it´s wonderful to see them all, but that triostar became a really beautiful beast 😍 It seems that every winter they will get better adapted... which gives us all hope :-) I also find the winters the hardest, rest of the year all is fine. I´m planning to growing them in pon this year - already divided them and the small divides will be growing in pon. I really wonder how it turns out.
Thank you for the video! Your plants are beautiful - even the ones with a few crispy edges! I should have my first Calathea Rattlesnake in a couple of weeks, and I am so excited! I'm not even going to delude myself into thinking that I can keep an Ornata, Roseopicta, or Peacock alive, even though I want a Peacock so bad I can taste it. My area is just too cold and dry. My Rufibarba is doing pretty well, and that makes me happy. Between my Rufibarba, Rattlesnake, and I'm thinking of adding a Calathea Freddy at some point, I can live with that. :)
Your plants are beautiful. I have a medallion that I bought last year and after it threw a initial fit for 6 months, it has stabilized and has lots of new leaves. I think they just need to acclimate because I did not run a humidifier this winter and my humidity was 35 to 40 percent. Right now it’s 46% and all my plants are waking up!
Most of my Calethea died,they actually did die I checked lol. Think it was down to my watering, the only one that’s still alive although struggling is the Orbifolia, just can’t seem to get a handle on it. As for my triostar and 2 others were stunning when they arrived now, not so much I’ve got a couple of nearly dead petioles sticking out of the pot and hoping they pick up now spring is here. Lol. Thanks for the update on yours they look amazing. 🌱💚
Love your peacock Calathea! Mine is doing so poorly, and like you said, hasn’t given me a single leaf in months. Can you share your regimen for this plant? Thanks!
I care for all my prayer plant family plants in the same way, and the video linked below outlines that care (it’s one of the earlier videos I did on UA-cam so please excuse lack of editing experience🫣): Prayer Plant Care | How to successfully care for Calathea, Maranta, Ctenanthe, and Stromanthe ua-cam.com/video/xTmi-t61jAQ/v-deo.html
My medallion and ornata bit the dust. I did have that one sign of growth but then it died, I'm keeping them around still and watering the soil like a crazy person 😂 but if they're going to resurrect they need to not be dessicated 🤷🏼♀️
I purchased this plant ( warscewzii)😀 it’s beautiful BUT I notice roots coming out the bottom so it must need repotting but not sure which soil to use.. pls help.. Thanks again
I use my forest floor mix. Here’s a video on all my mixes I use: The Perfect Soil by Plant Type | Custom Soil Mix | Houseplant Soil Mix ua-cam.com/video/k9B8jNsYzjw/v-deo.html
Beneficials are great, but if they don't have enough food they'll die off. Plus you need to buy them again just as the next batch of eggs will be hatching. It may be that the spider mite magnet just came in with them & you've never fully eradicated them??
My neighbor’s tree is always infested with them and it hangs over our shared fence line in my backyard so I’m certain they periodically get blown onto me and carried inside that way unfortunately
Hi 🩷 it’s my first time getting a Calathea. I’m getting a Warzewiczii 😍 How do you fertilize yours? I use Dyna Gro Foliage Pro on all my plants but Idk if this plant would like that.
I’ve used that on them before and they’ve done fine. I typically use this fertilizer though once per month: www.amazon.com/dp/B002LFEQ6G?linkCode=ssc&tag=onamzan061ad3-20&creativeASIN=B002LFEQ6G&asc_item-id=amzn1.ideas.2MJTJE3FMRF0I&ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ons_mixed_m_asin
I just tossed my calathea rattlesnake out this morning! Struggle bus fr! It drove it😂. I love that specific calathea, but I cannot keep it healthy for nothing. I’ll just blame it on the fact I live in Michigan 💛💙💛💙 Edit: Ooops just listened to you say don’t toss them 😮😂

I wait for your video every Saturday morning. I hope all is well with you.
Thank you! You too!💚
I don’t give up on an ailing plant until they are black and slimy. Plants have an innate desire to survive and you have to give them time to recover
U make calathea growing really simple. Going to buy a few next time I swing by a nursery. Thanks for another great video
You’re welcome!💚

Yes, Calatheas are awesome, and they #1 need "consistency" in watering. I treat them exactly like my ferns and they love it.
You are an inspiration for Calathea lovers!
Thank you💚💚💚
Love your videos you give alot of amazing information
Thanks!💚
My ornata died 6 months after I got it and it grew back 6 months later. So they do grow back and all my calatheas seem to take time to adjust to your home conditions and I’m in Colorado. I will be getting a humidifier also
I very much enjoyed seeing this video with all the updates! Will you be doing this again this spring?
Your stromanthe is amazing 🤩
Thank you💚
Looks like generally speaking, they all did great! Will be interesting to see how much awesome new growth they put on this year.
Me too!

My calatheas always grow in spurts during spring. 5 or 6 even 7 leaves in one week then nothing for 2 weeks and rinse and repeat all spring and summer
Like your hair i need to do something with mine
Good morning! My Calatheas are definitely yearning for Spring!

I'm surprised you don't have any maranta. But of all your calathea I love Rosie the most! 🥰
I have 3 marantas, just didn’t include them in this video since it was on Calathea💚
@@AlohaPlantLife they are so closely related and usually grouped together. I hope you talk about them soon too! Pretty please 🙏

Hello from Puerto Rico!!! My Calathea plants improved considerable but it was touch and go for a while. 🙋🏼♀️💚🪴🐩
Nice❤❤👍
❤ loved all your plants! I cant wait for mine to get that big!
I like the way you care for your plants. It's Great to have patience. ❤😊.
Thank you💚
@@AlohaPlantLife in the middle of the video. Makes me want too,buy a humidifier and get some Calatheas. Yours are so 😍. Have a great weekend. 🌻

I live in Canada (BC) and I have a peacock! It's totally doable, and so easy! If you want one go for it!
@@nikidadonaldson8603 Thank you so much! 😀 I will do that!

I am so jealous! My indoor humidity is 35% with 2 humidifiers running pretty much 24/7.

Fingers crossed that yours turn around and make a beautiful comeback for you💚
Did you use grow lights for your calatheas during autumn/winter?
Nope, they just stay in their usual spots and do fine.
Love your peacock Calathea! Mine is doing so poorly, and like you said, hasn’t given me a single leaf in months. Can you share your regimen for this plant? Thanks!

Hi!
Do calathea grow from their tubers as well? Can i propagate through tubers?
Unfortunately, no, you can’t propagate from the tubers. I tried it once just to verify for you guys and it didn’t work.
@@AlohaPlantLife thank you so much :)

😂
My rattlesnake plant is 5 feet away from an east facing window. There are crispy edges on it ,what's the care for this plant water wise? Thanks
They don’t like to dry all the way out. Keep them pretty consistently moist. I typically don’t ever let them dry out anymore than halfway.
@@AlohaPlantLife Thank you
