I bought my first calatheaa while ago im very experienced in plants but i knew that most people had very negative experiences with them but mine is doing very well so far after a month of having it i havent had any issues
Thanks Claire, will try giving my calathea and monstera a mist with the humidifier I got from you and put them in the warmer room. Loved the vid fun, kept my attention and packed with helpful info x
@@TheJungleHaven me too! One of my favs is the Orbifolia. I have a big one in my bathroom. I’m a new sub to your channel by the way 😊 Love your intro graphics! How’d you do that?
@@NataliePowellAGreytLife I LOVE orbifolias soooo much! The bathroom is a great place for them to lap up lots of humidity (I've also got one in my bathroom) ☺️ Thank you so much - I feel like there's probably a MUCH easier way of doing the intro, but I made it frame by frame in final cut (as I didn't want to pay for extra animation software)... Hahah as I say, I'm pretty certain there's a simpler way 😂🌿
Thanks for this informative video, really enjoyed it! I'm learning so much! I'm especially curious about bamboo plants and will look forward to those videos!
Beautiful calatheas! I have a furry feather one and she has grown magnificently. But, she is growing inside out so all the leaves are leaning down the sides, I want her to grow big and fill the pot, but she does not.. Do I Split her in half or put in the bigger pot and hope for the best???
Hi Clair & thanX for the informative videos, great. looking forward to more. Q. any idea's as to why my Calathea triostar has lost the red wine colour from the underside of all the leaf's? Otherwise seems healthy. The plant is quite large having some 40 leaf's.
I loved this video! So interesting! I have a calathea ornata and so far I’ve managed to keep it alive 😂 but I could definitely do with wiping the leaves more often! do you have any recommendations for a pet friendly trailing plant that would do well hanging in a shower room? Thank you!
Yay I'm so glad you found it useful. Wiping down the leaves is something a lot of people forget to do, but it's so important for the health of your plant ☺️ My video this week is actually all about pet friendly plants! It'll be up by the end of the week 💚🌿
Hello Claire, I love calatheas. I have one but I don't know its name. Looks like the 1st you showed, rufibarba, but it has white lines of little leaves in the center, as if sobody has painted it, haha. Great video, thanks for sharing. Elpida
Hey Elpida, I'm so glad you enjoyed the video... It could be Calathea Warscewiczii? Their leaves look quite similar but it has beautiful white veins... I hope this helps 💚🌿
Hiya, I use 3% which is medical grade for my plants! Depending on the use there's different ways you can dilute it with varying measurements - all the measurements I use are in my hydrogen peroxide video 💚
Don't worry too much, a bit of misting won't hurt, it's only if furry plants regularly receive a lot of water on their leaves, meaning that it isn't able to evaporate properly ☺️🌿
If the humidity levels are good this would suggest it's probably down to a watering imbalance. Calatheas are sensitive to this anyway, but certain types (like white fusion) can be even more susceptible to issues. I'd say start by pruning back/chopping away the crispy edges, make sure the soil stays consistently and evenly moist (but not saturated), your plant has good drainage and the soil is light (not too dense). If you haven't already tried using either distilled or rain water this can also be a great idea for sensitive plants as it contains less chemicals than regular tap water

Really helpful video 😊 Thanks for the tips! I adore prayer plants. They’re gorgeous 🥰

Thank you! They can be very dramatic plants, but I hope this helps with your next Calathea 💚 YOU CAN DO IT! 😆🌿
Thank you for this video!! I have one calathea and have found it a bit of a challenge, but really want to grow my collection 🌿

Yes, they absolutely LOVE humidity so I'm sure they'd enjoy this! I'm so glad you found the video useful ☺️🌿
Your Calatheas are beautiful!
Thank you so much, they're one of my favourite types of houseplant - I just love how diverse they are 💚

cool channel just subscribed * informative and refreshing
just a beginner with a handful of Calatheas
Really awesome....thanks for Share...
I'm so glad it was helpful ☺️🌿
Thanks for sharing. Quick question: how often should you add used coffee grounds to the soil!?

Hi again 😁
I forgot to ask you what strength should peroxide should I use and what ratio to water?
Thanks again.

Good information
Oh no, I've had rufibarba for over a week now and I've been misting them as I haven't got a humidifier yet 😩
Don't worry too much, a bit of misting won't hurt, it's only if furry plants regularly receive a lot of water on their leaves, meaning that it isn't able to evaporate properly ☺️🌿
Nice
All of my calatheas are thriving except for white fusion, I keep humidity at about 65% and leaves are still crispy. Help!

It's great isn't it!? It so often gets thrown away, so it's a great little recycling tip!
OH MY GOD all all of my plants are dying or dead. I need this channel 😂
Oh noooo! I hope this helps you and feel free to get in touch if you've got any specific questions 💚
@@TheJungleHaven thank you so much!!!
same (not all dead but struggling)!!
Watching this after I killed a second Calathea..
