It's as beautiful as it is bold! Green foliage with deep-burgundy undersides is complemented with bright-pink markings that are sure to liven up any space. The Dottie Calathea is a low-maintenance plant and does extremely well when planted in containers. It has a clumping growth habit that adds interest to the already unique appearance! During the summer and fall, it produces white blooms. Dottie is a non-toxic, pet friendly choice!

Best Locations For Growing Dottie Calathea

The Dottie Calathea thrives on indirect sunlight, as direct sunlight can burn its foliage. It is versatile in any space. A room that maintains a temperature of 65-75 degrees F is optimal for this plant. A family room or cubicle are good options as this plant requires humidity. Keep Dottie out of rooms that experience drafts or sudden temperature changes.

Dottie Calathea Sunlight Requirements

Place Dottie in an area with indirect sunlight. Near a window facing north, east, or west is optimal.

Dottie Calathea Plant Care

A peat moss soil mix is best to ensure proper drainage. Deadheading should take place as needed. Place Dottie in a pot that is 2-4 inches larger than its current container. Repot this plant every 2-4 years to keep it growing strong.

Watering Dottie Calathea

Keep the soil damp. The plant should not sit in soil that is overly wet. Mist the leaves regularly to maintain humidity.

Feeding Dottie Calathea

Fertilize Dottie monthly during spring and summer with a general-purpose houseplant fertilizer.
