Care Guide

• Light: Bright indirect light is ideal; tolerates moderate light but avoid direct sun, which will bleach the leaf markings
• Water: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged; water when the top inch feels dry. Use distilled or filtered water when possible — calatheas are sensitive to fluoride and mineral salts.
• Humidity: Prefers 50%+ humidity; mist leaves occasionally, use a pebble tray, or place near a humidifier
• Temperature: 65°F–85°F (18–29°C); keep away from cold drafts and vents
• Soil: Fast-draining, moisture-retentive mix; a peat or coco coir blend works well
• Fertilizer: Feed monthly in spring and summer with a diluted balanced liquid fertilizer; skip in fall and winter
• Repotting: Every 1–2 years in spring when rootbound

Available Sizes

• 4" Pot — A well-established starter plant, perfect for shelves and tabletops
• 6" Pot — A fuller, more mature specimen ready to make an impression

Each plant is grown with care and ships directly to your door. Leaf color and patterning may vary slightly — every Silvia is beautifully its own.
