      Description

      Appearance:

      • Leaves: Large, glossy, and paddle-shaped leaves, with a deep green color on the top and a lighter, almost grayish-green underside. The leaves can grow up to 30-60 cm (12-24 inches) long, creating a striking visual.
      • Height: Calathea lutea can grow up to 1.8-3 meters (6-10 feet) in height, making it a prominent addition to any indoor or outdoor garden.
      • Flowers: The plant produces inflorescences that are cigar-shaped, brownish, or dark red in color, contributing to its unique common name.

      Light Requirements: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate partial shade. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.

      Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Ensure the plant has well-draining soil.

      Humidity: Being a tropical plant, Calathea lutea thrives in high humidity environments. Mist the leaves regularly or place a humidity tray underneath.

      Soil: Well-draining potting soil with good moisture retention is ideal. A mixture of peat, perlite, and compost works well.

      Fertilization: Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).

      Care Tips:

      • Pruning: Trim off any yellow or brown leaves to maintain the plant's appearance and health.
      • Pest Management: Watch out for common pests such as spider mites and aphids. Treat infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil.

      Indoor and Outdoor Use: Calathea lutea is an excellent choice for indoor tropical gardens and can also be used outdoors in shaded areas. Its large leaves make it a great focal point in any space, adding a lush, tropical feel.
