Comes in a 6” ceramic pot, these are very healthy and full plants.

Network Calathea is a new (and trendy) houseplant that shows off fantastically variegated foliage. Its lance-shaped mid-green leaves bear dark green veins. They form a pattern that almost looks like a digital network. The effect is particularly striking when the leaves are backlit.

Light

While Network calathea will tolerate a low-light spot, it thrives in medium to bright (but indirect) light. Not sure about the amount of light your space has? As a rough rule of thumb, in low light there's just enough illumination to read a book or magazine throughout the day without extra lighting. In medium light, the plant will cast a soft or light shadow and in bright light, the plant will have a strong shadow. 

Water

Water Network calathea as the surface of the potting mix dries to the touch. It is sensitive to drying out. Its beautiful leaves will develop brown, crispy edges if it does not get enough moisture. That said, take care not to overwater. If the potting mix stays wet or saturated for extended periods, the roots will drown and rot. 

Water generously, until it drains out of the bottom of the pot. They also love to be misted, try this mister HERE

Humidity

Like other calathea varieties, Network prefers above-average relative humidity levels. It has thicker leaves than many of its relatives. This helps it hold up better in homes or offices where humidity isn't so high. If you have had difficulty growing other calathea varieties in the past, you might find Network more durable. 

 

Toxicity

Network calathea are non-toxic to cats and dogs.

Fertilize

During the spring and summer fertilize once a month with THIS. No fertilizer is necessary during the winter when plant growth naturally slows.
