Calathea ‘Rosy’ also known as Calathea Roseopicta, is a tropical plant native to South America. It’s pretty with its big, oval pink and green leaves that unfurl.

Since it’s in the family of prayer plants, the leaves change positions in the day and night. Rosy prefers room temperature filtered or distilled water. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Once a week is a good timeframe to aim for. They thrive in bright, indirect light and love humidity. This is one that you can mist, use a mini humidifier or even have a small tray or dish of water nearby. You can cluster with compatible plants, too and create a micro-climate. Likes to stay at 65-75 degrees F and not get cold drafts.

Can feed with a water soluble fertilizer spring through fall, but a soil refresh works better in many cases.
Can propagate through division or leaf cutting in water or soil that have at least one node.

Common problems: Yellow or curling leaves can be from both overwatering and underwatering, low humidity, draft or cold temperature, or low light. Brown leaf edges is often caused by hard water or excess salt in the soil. When I worked in the industry, we would cut any brown edges on the leaves with scissors.
