Peacock Calathea in Grey Geo

Your Peacock Calathea comes planted in the right soil mix so it starts healthy — with gentle care and the right environment, its patterned leaves will stay bold and beautiful.

Where to keep it?
Think bright, indirect light.

• A spot near a window with filtered sunlight or a few feet away from direct light is ideal.
• Too much direct sun can fade the intricate patterns and cause leaf burn.
• It also does well in medium light, but avoid very dark corners.

How much watering?

• Calatheas like consistently lightly moist soil — not dry, not soggy.
• Check the top 1 inch of soil. If it feels slightly dry, water.
  Water thoroughly until excess drains out, but never let it sit in water.
  In summers: about once a week. In winters: every 10–12 days (adjust based on room conditions).
• Humidity matters
  This plant loves humidity. Dry air can cause crispy brown edges.
• Keep away from direct AC airflow and heaters.
  If possible, place near other plants or in a naturally humid room.

Other care tips

• Use filtered or room-temperature water if possible (sensitive to hard water).
• Wipe leaves gently to keep the patterns clear and dust-free.
  Leaves may move up at night — that’s completely normal (it’s called a “prayer” movement).
