? Water regularly? Semi-shade, no direct sunlight? Strongly air-purifying? Nutrition every 2 weeks (summer)? Not toxic for animals? Repot every other yearThe Calathea is a plant that bears striking and colourful leaves. It has a large diversity of leaves. This also gives it a unique appearance. The plant also has the unique property that it has its leaves folded at night and folds out again during the day. This is why the Calathea is also called the 'Living plant'.  LocationIn any case, make sure that the plant is in the shade or semi-shade. Too much sunlight is harmful to the plant and the plant will get brown edges on the leaves. The plant can be placed near a window on the west or east, as long as there is 1 to 2 meters space between the plant and the window, so that it still catches some shade. The plant can be placed even better near a window on the north. OriginThe Calathea originates from South America. They grow mainly in the shade corners of the rainforest, under the large shelter of the trees.
