Description:
The Calathea musaica, also known as the Network Plant, features leaves with a stunning, intricate geometric pattern that resembles a mosaic. Each leaf's unique design adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to any setting.
History:
Native to the tropical rainforests of Brazil, the Calathea musaica is revered not only for its beauty but also for its cultural significance. Indigenous communities, such as the Tupi and Guarani, have long admired this plant for its ornamental value and occasionally used it in traditional rituals and ceremonies, symbolizing nature's artistic expression.
Care Guide:
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf scorch.
Water: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry.
Humidity: High humidity is essential. Mist the leaves regularly or place the pot on a humidity tray.
Temperature: Ideal temperatures range between 65-75°F (18-24°C). Keep away from drafts and sudden temperature changes.
Soil: Use well-draining, peat-based potting soil.
Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every four weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).
