Growing & Maintenance Tips for Calathea lancifolia

To care for a Calathea lancifolia, ensure it receives bright, indirect light and maintain a humidity level of at least 50%. Water the plant regularly, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings, and avoid using tap water to prevent leaf damage caused by chemicals.
