Best Locations For Growing Medallion II Calathea

This plant is sure to make a statement in your home and looks really stunning on a table top or pedestal.  It will need a couple weeks to get accustomed to its location. Be patient and give it time. It will thrive in either the kitchen or bathroom as well as the more common areas of the home or office. 

Medallion II Calathea Sunlight Requirements

It prefers medium to bright indirect sunlight, but tolerates low light conditions. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves. Fading leaf color may be an indicator of too much direct sunlight.

Medallion II Calathea Care

This plant may require an occasional rinsing. The moisture will be beneficial as the plant thrives in a humid environment. Calathea requires well-drained, loose soil and can easily adjust to a variety of household temperatures. It flourishes in warmer areas and can be placed outside during the growing season as long as the nighttime temperatures don’t regularly drop below 50 degrees F. Too much direct sunlight will scorch the leaves.

Watering Medallion II Calathea

Keep the plant moist but avoid allowing the roots to sit in water. This plant does well with a regular watering schedule and is not drought tolerant. Avoid using unfiltered tap water that contains chlorine, salts, and fluoride as it will cause the leaves to turn brown and curl up. 

Feeding Medallion II Calathea

Requires a well-balanced general houseplant fertilizer with a 15-15-15 NPK ratio once per month. No need to fertilize during the winter months. Be aware that too much fertilizer can cause root burn.
