How to Care for Your Jungle Rose Calathea

The Jungle Rose Calathea is as adaptable as it is beautiful, making it a rewarding plant for gardeners of all experience levels. Follow these care tips to ensure your plant thrives:

Light Requirements

Place your Jungle Rose Calathea in a spot with bright, indirect light or part shade. Direct sunlight can scorch its delicate leaves, so avoid placing it near windows with intense afternoon sun.

Watering Schedule

This plant prefers consistently moist soil but does not tolerate water logging. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, and ensure the pot has proper drainage to prevent root rot. During drier months or in heated indoor environments, mist the leaves to maintain humidity.

Soil Preferences

Plant in a well-draining, peat-based potting mix enriched with organic matter. The soil should retain moisture without becoming overly saturated, mimicking the plant’s natural rainforest habitat.

Temperature and Humidity

The Jungle Rose Calathea thrives in warm, humid conditions. Keep it in temperatures between 18–25°C and avoid placing it in drafty areas or near air conditioning vents. Use a humidifier or place a tray of water nearby to increase humidity if needed.

Fertilising

Feed your Jungle Rose Calathea with a balanced, water-soluble fertiliser every 4–6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Avoid over-fertilising, as this can cause leaf burn.

Pruning and Maintenance

Remove any yellowing or damaged leaves to keep the plant looking fresh and healthy. Prune lightly to maintain its shape and encourage new growth. Regular dusting of the leaves enhances their vibrant appearance.
