Care Guide:

• Light: Prefers low to medium indirect light. Protect from direct sunlight that can bleach or burn the delicate leaves.
• Water: Keep soil evenly moist and well-drained. Filtered or distilled water is ideal, since tap water may contain chemicals causing leaf spot or browning.
• Temperature & Humidity: Prefers warm (18-27°C / 65-80°F) and humid conditions. Mist regularly or use a pebble tray to provide extra humidity.
• Soil: A well-draining peat potting mix that retains some moisture but drains quickly would be best.
• Feeding: The fertilization period is from spring to summer, where diluted liquid fertilizers are applied every week 4 to 6 times for healthy growth. Avoid fertilization in winter.
• Pruning: Cut any yellowing or desiccated leaves of the plant for a fresh appearance.
• Repotting: Repotting every 1-2 years ensures that the soil is changed and allows for continued growth.
• Extra Tip: Clean the leaves gently with a damp cloth from time to time to get rid of dust and restore their natural shine. 

  With its finely textured foliage, ability to purify air, and easy-going disposition, the Calathea ‘Compact Star Setosa’ is a perfect plant to instill a calm, tropical flair into your abode or office.
