Calathea Musaica is also known as the calathea network plant
This is a prayer plant
Calathea musaica care is similar to all Calatheas, although it is less fussy than some
Calatheas enjoy a light well draining soil
A mix of potting soil and perlite and peat will keep the roots happy if well mixed with lighter soils
Use a well drained ceramic or plastic pot
Repot every second year or when roots come out the drainage holes on the pot bottom to the next pot size up
Calatheas enjoysindirect light for best leaf variegation and optimal growth
Calatheas are happy at 50% to 60% humidity
Optimal temperatures for Calathea plants are 65 degrees F to 75 degrees F
If your Calathea leaves start to roll up and curl, the plant droops or the edges turn brown suspect watering problems
Watering is best done on a regular schedule with a moisture meter check
Your Calathea leaves enjoy occasional washing
This helps keep the stomata (leaf pores) open for plant respiration
Hand Wash the leaves monthly with water and neem oil
Calatheas are especially susceptible to spider mites
Stress by longterm poor watering practices, poor light, extreme temperatures and soil conditions are contributors to pests
Be sure to practice good plant care
