About the plant:
Calathea or calathea comes from the tropical regions of South and Central America and belongs to bushy plants with thin stems and relatively wide and large leaves. In the rainforest, it forms a dense undergrowth, most often in the shade of tall trees. Calathea together with the genera Marantha, Ctenanthe and Stromanthe form a very similar group of so- called prayer plants . They are called so because they always begin to straighten their leaves towards evening, which can resemble hands folded in prayer. In the morning, they delight and open their leaves again. Kalateas are distinguished from other praying mantises by the fact that their leaves grow curled into cones.

Calathea White Fusion (sometimes also white tiger = white tiger) is a rare species of calathea , which is characterized by green-white variegation of wavy leaves. Due to the light conditions, a hint of purple may appear on the leaves. This plant is well aware of its exotic origin and will appreciate extra care from you.

Overwatering: Too much water can cause root rot, yellowing and leaf drop.
Dry air: Due to insufficient air humidity, the leaves of the plant can start to dry from the tips and turn yellow or curl.
Burn: Direct light can burn the leaves of the plant, causing dark and dry spots

Light

The plant needs a lot of light to grow healthy and color its leaves. Give the plant plenty of bright light without sunlight that could burn the leaves. The ideal location is the north and east side.

Watering

Water with lukewarm water. The substrate should never dry out completely, but we pay attention to overflowing.

Humidity

The plant requires increased air humidity, so we often mist its leaves or place the flowerpot on a bowl of water and pebbles.

Propagation

We can propagate the plant by dividing the bunches, for example during transplanting, when we separate a young and mature plant from the mother plant.
