Care Instructions

Light: The Calathea White Fusion thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its delicate leaves. It can tolerate low light conditions as well.

Water: This plant prefers consistently moist but not waterlogged soil. Water it when the top inch of the soil feels dry. Use room-temperature water to avoid shocking the roots. 

Soil: Provide well-draining, peat-based soil for your Calathea White Fusion. A mix with good aeration ensures the roots have proper circulation. 

Humidity: Maintaining high humidity is crucial for the White Fusion. Mist the leaves regularly or use a humidity tray to keep the air around the plant moist. This will prevent the edges of its leaves from drying out and browning.

Temperature: Keep your White Fusion in a warm environment. It thrives in temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C). Avoid exposing it to temperatures below 55°F (13°C) as it's sensitive to cold drafts.

Fertilizer: During the growing season (spring and summer), feed your Calathea White Fusion with a balanced, diluted, liquid houseplant fertilizer every 4-6 weeks. Reduce or stop feeding during the dormant season (fall and winter).

Pet Information: The White Fusion Calathea is non-toxic to cats and dogs. You can safely enjoy its beauty without worrying about your pets.
