Care Instructions

Light: Thrives in medium to bright indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can fade the beautiful leaf patterns and cause leaf burn.

Water: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, using filtered or distilled water to prevent leaf browning from chemicals in tap water.

Humidity: Requires high humidity (60% or higher). Mist regularly, use a humidifier, or place on a pebble tray with water to maintain moisture levels.

Temperature: Prefers warm temperatures between 65-80°F. Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.

Soil: Use well-draining, peat-based potting mix that retains some moisture.

Fertilizer: Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength.

Pet Friendly: Safe for cats and dogs, making it a perfect choice for pet owners.Watch as the leaves gently fold up at night and unfold in the morning—a fascinating natural behavior that makes the Calathea Peacock even more captivating!
