The Calathea Makoyana or Peacock Plant as it is more commonly known is a wonderful plant that can be known to grow up to 2ft in height when cared for correctly. Also named Cathedral Windows.
Originally from Brazil this plant is a popular choice around the world for a house plant mainly because it makes a lovely addition to any home due to its beautiful foliage and bold markings.
Temperature: | Ideal temperatures required should be between 60ºF – 75ºF (15.5-24ºC). Avoid sudden drops that will affect growth and cold drafts. |
Light: | Indirect sunlight is best suited for this species. Direct sun will damage the leaves and low light will slow growth, so a bit of balance is required. |
Watering: | Water thoroughly during the growing season then naturally reduce during winter. Good drainage is important. |
Soil: | Use soil that holds moisture and drains well. A 2 part peat and 1 part sand or perlite mix will do the trick. |
Re-Potting: | Repot once every 2 years. During spring is best. |
Fertilizer: | Feed only during the growing season from April – October with a diluted liquid feed once every 2 weeks. |
Humidity: | Calatheas enjoy humidity in their natural climate. If you can try and raise the levels even if you just mist the plant or seat the pot on a tray of pebbles with water inside. When the humidity is low from dry air you may notice leaf tips browning. |
