care

Calatheas are moderate growers. They grow modestly in medium to low light conditions, so transplanting them is usually not an immediate concern.  When transplanting, though, select a pot that is about three inches in diameter larger than the current container. Make sure it has good drainage.  Use a potting soil specially formulated for indoor plants when doing your repotting.
