Calathea Corona Plant Features
Calathea Roseopicta 'Corona', aka Calathea Corona, is very similar to the popular Calathea Rosy, but instead of a vibrant pink center, the center of their leaves remains a pale, frosty green with dark green edging. Like most members of the Marantaceae, or "Prayer Plant" family, they have a habit of opening and closing their leaves as the day transitions to night.
Calathea Corona Growing Instructions
The secret to keeping it happy is to provide high humidity. Brown leaf tips indicate the air is too dry. Do anything you can to keep the relative humidity above 50%. Place it on a humidity tray or use a room humidifier. Calatheas also love to be misted with rainwater.
Repot in spring to give it fresh potting mix. Use a pot only 1-2 inches larger -- this prayer plant likes to be slightly pot-bound. Keep the crown of the plant at the same soil level as it was before. Need a new container? Check out stylish, new house plant pots here.
Leaves are naturally glossy. Do not use leaf shine products, because Calathea leaves are sensitive to chemicals. You can clean the leaves by gently wiping them with a soft, damp cloth. Hold one hand under the leaf as you wipe it off to avoid tearing the foliage.
Watch for spider mites. Dry indoor air in the winter months encourages these pests to invade house plants, another reason to keep the humidity up. You'll first notice faint webbing on the undersides of leaves. Don't use an oil-based insecticide on Calatheas because it will damage those beautiful leaves. And if your plant is badly infested, get rid of it. You don't want those harmful pests to invade your other houseplants.
Brown, curled leaves? Older leaves will turn brown and shrivel up. This is normal. Cut them off with scissors or pruners to keep your plant looking neat. Newer leaves with brown edges, or crispy, curled leaves may be suffering from too much fertilizer. Flush the soil with tepid water to remove built-up salts.
