🌿 Calathea ‘Dottie’ – Care Tips

Calathea Dottie is a dramatic, tropical houseplant admired for its deep purple-black leaves accented with vivid pink markings and a bold pink midrib. The circular leaves are velvety and expressive, folding up at night and reopening by day—bringing movement and life to any indoor space.

☀️ Light

• Best in bright, indirect light

• Can tolerate lower light but may lose color vibrancy

• Avoid direct sun – it can fade or burn the leaves

💧 Watering

• Keep soil consistently moist, but not soggy

• Water when top 2–3 cm (1 inch) of soil is dry

• Use distilled or rainwater to avoid tip browning (Calatheas are sensitive to tap water chemicals)

🌡️ Humidity & Temperature

• Loves high humidity (60% and above)

• Use a humidifier or pebble tray if the air is dry

• Ideal temp: 18–26°C (65–78°F)

• Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature changes

🌱 Soil & Potting

• Use a light, well-draining mix (peat or coco coir + perlite)

• Pot must have good drainage

• Repot every 1–2 years or when rootbound

🍃 Fertilizer

• Feed monthly in spring and summer

• Use a diluted balanced houseplant fertilizer

• No need to fertilize during winter dormancy

✂️ Maintenance

• Trim off damaged or yellow leaves as needed

• Wipe leaves gently to remove dust and enhance shine

• Propagation is done by division when repotting

✅ Pet-Friendly

• Calathea Dottie is non-toxic to cats and dogs 🐾
