I've six Calathea so usually get to play the "what's pissed you off now" game with at least one of them on a weekly basis.

That intro could not have been more exactly what I feel

My mom passed away from cancer and she had soooo many plants, towards the end of her life she couldn't take care of her plants like she used to. I tried to save as many as i could I still have at least 50. I just want to make sure I take care of them all and make her proud. She has many Calathea's amongst others, your videos are awesome, I'll be sure to follow you on IG. Thank you so!

Thank you for naming both inches and cm, both f and c and both feet and meters. So many people tend to forget about this but it’s so helpful! 🥰

Just got my first calathea ornata yesterday and I'm already stressing over it

Thank you SO much! You helped this proud mama of multiple Calatheas

Lol. “Calathea is like one of ur passive-aggressive friends” It’s so true and funny. I have 3 of them (clatheas!), and always playing “guess what I’m mad about today?” game a lot X-( Thank you very much for this video. It helps me a lot learning how to take better care of these princesses!

Hello! I follow a lot of "tenure" "plantubers" and i think youre doing a really awesome job on the care videos i have seen so far! One thing i always wish my other awesome "plantubers" would do is more care videos on specific tricky plants like you are doing! They have a lot of fun videos like unboxing and plant tours but one thing i struggle with is finding care videos as organized and informative as yours. The way you have it broken down into segments such as, "watering", "humidity", etc is SO NICE. I have a lot of plants and I watch care videos constantly on them so thank you for doing what youre doing so far! Keep it up :) A suggestion for a video i would really like to see is Alocasia Amazonica care. I havent been able to find one that i like that i feel gives me good info on them and they are rather tricky plants in my experience so far :) Thank you!!

That’s such a beautiful calathea! The fact that it doesn’t have any crisp edges on the leaves! Most other plant tubers say misting won’t help much but, your plant speaks for itself! Thank you! ❤️

Gotta love the "pissed off calathea" checklist: humidity, improper fertilization, amount of water, lighting, quality of water, spidermites...im sure there's more, too 😪

Just got my first (an Ornata) today and am excited/terrified that it's going to throw a fit in its new home!

So i finaly found a good place in my house for my new calathea. She lost all her leaves except 4... and still lost half of theses 4leaves. She is now happy ! But She dont like water on her roots! She dont like water from tapwater. She dont like too much wind or cold air. She dont like cold water, direct sunlight, dry soil, to wet soil...she like nothing! So after this never ending game, she decided to tell me she happy now, and growing her 2first leaves. Wow that was an experience. I give water from the bottom, never from top. And its room temperature. I also added 3 little shooter glass around her to keep humidity close to her. When humidity goes under 40%, she hate it LOL so picky miss picky

I have a rufibarba and a triostar and they respond very quickly. They curl their leaves when they need water, which make them kinda easy to care for 😊☺️💚 Loved this vid! 💚

My calathea ornata is currently writing you a thank you note 😂🙏

I really like all your plant care videos. Useful and to the point information. Thanks.

😂😂😂 the intro! I love this dark variety!

Got a Calathea Ornata for my birthday - was really excited! But let me tell you that she's really a DIVA! 😂 I noticed that she was starting to curl up so I tried to water it, letting the water drain thoroughly. Woke up the next morning... one leaf was starting to turn yellow. 🙃 Hoping that there's a new leaf coming and that I didn't overwater. 😭

LOL your intro is seriously so relatable!!

great video, got one the other day, gave in despite the talk about them being finicky. I will apply all your advice, and hope it doesn't die. Ahh

*removes calathea from basket* 😂

i got this beautiful plant 2 weeks ago, and wow this plant can speak what it doesnt like !!! thank you for this video. i tried many places around my house. One spot she love , finally ! and 5 days after, she dont like... so im gonna try the humidifer like you said. maybe thats what it is. Maybe !! lets play that game lol the introduction of your video made me laugh, its how i feel

Useful tips, thank you. Hope my small one can grow bigger like yours.

Beautiful plant 🌹🌻🌺🌸🌼🎉

Wow your calathea is beautiful mine looks pity not doing good. Will fallow your advise thank you for sharing.

You have exactly described my feelings 😂

Had to thumbs up simply based on how you started the video😂

Me and calatheas have the same personality 🤣

*Very nice 👌*

Love your videos! Keep them coming.

I want to get into gardening, I bought one of these guys on impulse Cuz I thought it looked pretty but now I have no idea how to take care of it 😂

I love your style!

My grandma told me to take care of her calathea me not knowing what type of plant it it’s I watch this video and when you mention they don’t like sun i literally dropped my phone and ran outside to move it😂

Thanks for the vid

love your ornata looks cool...really don't know why my medallion isn't giving me any new leaves

She gets to the point at 4:17

Hello! My pinstripe has started constantly praying - some of the outer leaves will come down during the day but the rest have started to stay up all the time and I’m not sure why!

This was very helpful I have some troublesome tips I'm trying to appease. Why are the pretty ones always so high maintenance 🥲

This is irrelevant but I can't tell if your accent is British or not, I love hearing you talk 😂

My calathea is not giving me any new leaves, it hasn't since I got it! It seems okay though so I am just confused as to why it isn't growing? Do you maybe know what this could be?

Awesome video 👏👏 I'm currently in discovering process of wtf is wrong with my C.Ornata. thanks for the video and I would like if you can tell us about cissus striata plant which is not easy to take care in home condition. Thanks

Very interesting

Dealing with a spider mite issue on mine at the moment... and im really struggling to get rid of them and keep the calathea happy 🙃

my calatheas leaves tips are shrivelling and curling up and i don’t know how to fix it i’ve tried having a aroma diffuser next to it, pebble tray under it, taking it into the shower when my I have a shower and also when other people in my family have a shower. I have also been used brita filter water and it’s been getting low indirect light and i also water it so that it is moist but not soggy😅

Thank you, great video. Can you recommend a fertiliser?

Thank you this video was informative!! I'm new-ish to the plant world and my Calathea is giving me a hard time :( the new leaves on the bottom are growing yellow and burnt on the sides. I have it somewhere with filtered daylight and I also water it every 8-9 days. Any recommendations?

agreed, they def dont like tap water

I didn't find them so fussy. I rarely ever mist them, like, if I notice the mister, I'll mist them, they get some direct sun but for a short while and in the morning, so it's not harsh, 3 of mine were left alone for 11 days and really didn't like it, lost almost all leaves, but as soon as I was back, they started to push new leaves again, so, they are also hard to kill. the only thing I had to figure out about them, is to let tap water sit a while until it reaches room temperature, before watering. that's all, they used to struggle when I'd water them straight from the hose, really didn't enjoy that, but with water that's been seated for few hours, they are fine and dandy

Intro made me subscribe

hi, thanks for such great information! could you please tell a little more about fertilising? i mean today i got this dude and i am a total layman about plants. how to fertilise proper? which products do you use? thanks one more time :)

did you cover When to REPOT

I’m going to try aquarium water. Full of nitrates and no chemicals!

Do u ever feel like your calathea ever suffering? YEESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! T_T

Can I water and mist on the same day? I keep mine in the bathroom and it responds very well to that but I just watered it today.

my calathea ornata is making my life a daily hell to keep her alive

Very nice! Ugh I need help with how to make cute animations/transitions like you! My vids are so basic 😂😂

Do you have a video on what kind of fertilizer to use? I just got my baby and I want to make sure she thrives!!

Is it possible to revive the dry crusty leaves? Or do you pick them off?

I live in East Texas and it’s super humid here. Do you think I would still need a humidifier for my plants?

Out of subjects here, Can I say how gorgeous you are! I just got my calathea ornata and I'm trying to drink all informations about or should I say stressing over 😅 New subs, thanks lot for sharing 🌷

Hey! I have def overwatered my calathea and it is very unhappy about it. is there any way I can revive it? I have 4 leaves left, since I chop off the ones that get super wrinkly and dry. thanks x

I recently ‘rescued’ a calathea from a plant centre (50% off and a bit of brown leaves), and I was wondering: can I just cut some of the sad leaves of? ( one has been folded, one is a bit brown) hope you can help!

I believe you forgot the soil point. Can you make a video about soil for Calathea? Maybe you can show us what you use & how you mix them for this plant. Thanks ^^

Thank you for this! Just got an Ornata and he is throwing a fit 😩😭

I have 2 calatheas. Only my lancifolia has problems it has tiny dots of brown on most of the leaves, I keep the soil moist, water with distilled water and it is in bright indirect light also the humidity is good where they live. My makoyana is having no problems and is in the same position as the lancifolia ??????

Thanks for the video! My calathea ornata is staying closed most of the day. Also, it hasn't put out new growth in 3 months. I keep it next to a humidifier and have a regular watering schedule. I've placed it 10 ft away from a south facing window. Would you have any advise for me?

Crazy plant guy did the same opening with the same plant 2 years ago

Great video, following you on ig already

I love Calatheas and have killed one and now killing another because I don’t know how to care for them. I do have it in what I thought was the perfect place for it to be seen, and now know it’s the worst place, under the air conditioning vent. I guess now I’ll have to try to put it somewhere else. My only place now is the dinning room table, or change the house around.

And the soil mix? What is the best to use?

Hi! How would you transport a calathea in a car without damaging it? The journey is at least 9 hours long (max 10 hours). I would love to get one at the beginning of the summer to learn how to take care of it at my parents’ house, and then take it with me to school in September.

I brought my Calathea from my MIL's house when she passed. Sadly is almost dead :-( I really want to keep it alive, I feel so guilty. Only a couple of leaves left and i don't see any new growth.

can you show your house plants ? and how you care for them. thanks

My girlfriend has this plant and it's incredibly hard to know if it's happy or not. She's just moved it to a new spot it seems to be enjoying.

If I have my pinstripe 8 or 9 feet away from my south-facing window (with blinds open) in the fall, would that be too much or too little sunlight? Also, what kind of fertilizer do you use?

I have two calathea on the way will a corner of a room with east and south windows be too much light? it would be around 10 feet from the windows

If we use a humidifier for the calathea, how long should we have it running for? Like 24 hours? 8? 😅 they probably need a break from it, right?

i got the same Calathea and its doing good so far, but they have like dry leaves. how to reduce or what to do with dry ends ?

My Calathea Majestica has brown tips! Ahhh, please send help! 😭😭

Very nice video 🙏🌷🌹👃👌🇵🇰

I have a Calathea Ornata. How big can they get? Will too much sun cause the leaves to curl?

Hi. I have a dottie which unfortunately was overwatered. Its pot has no good drainage I only knew it after a few days when I noticed it was sitting in water. So I changed the pot and the soil to well draining soil. The leaves withered and there's only three leaves now that are not drooping but has dry edges now too. I followed everything the others talked about but still there's no new leaf. Do you think I can still revive it? Pls send help 😭😭😭

HELP!! My ornata used to be the easiest plant to take cake of, now the new leaves are turning yellow, what's happening???

Hi! My Calathea Ornata has white powder stuff near the roots. Are those fungi? And what should I do? 😔

if leaves start to dry and become crispy, can they recover or they are gone?

Do you know if you can propagate stem cuttings of this plant?

That Calathea you are holding in this video is amazing. What is that one called?

Hello nice video, how can I send you a picture of my plant , ps I don't have Instagram thanks 👍🏾 my edges are turning brown I had it for about 2 months now. 😊

How long does it take to grow it to that size?

I’m so sad. I left my new beautiful and perfect calathea in my hot car for 1.5 hours and now the leaves are all curled up and some are crispy at the end. I’m so sad. Is there anything I can do?

My rattlesnake calathea has little brown spots looks like burnt but in the form of spots. Why so?

😫 trying to save my ornata. only plant that is always giving me a hard time

Hi, can I propagate calathea ornata in water?

Hello Emma, i have Calathea maranta, and i am going for a vacation for 10days ... Wanted to ask you can i keep my Calathea in kitchen while m away? Or can you suggest something?

I just legit bought a 100 dollar humidifier for mine. To figure out what is wrong!!! Lol

Can I keep it under constant fan air for like three hours a day?

Can you please write the name of the third plant?

Can i put my calathea rufirbarba in the bathroom?

What is the suitable pot size?

Could you water with spring water?

have you repotted your calatheas before? i've got three as well and they're doing well but i kinda want to promote growth and possibly move them to slightly bigger pots, any tips? x
