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.

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

Aww I'm sorry you're having trouble with your calathea! They can be super finicky! And they won't tell you what's wrong exactly you just need to try things. Please note I am not an expert, all my advice is coming from my own experiences. From what you've said it seems like it's getting a lot of humidity which is good. Be careful though with an aroma diffuser as that is different to a humidifier and doesn't really work as well or at all in some cases. I think the light may be the problem. They require bright indirect not low? If you can, move it into a brighter spot with still no direct sun, maybe that will help! Best of luck though!

@GoodGrowing4 жыл бұрын
Hey! Travelling with it in a car shouldn't be that big of an issue. As long as things aren't squishing or hitting it or its not moving around too much it should be fine. If it's on the larger side, I'd suggest putting it in the foot well of either the passenger side seat or one of the bag seats, this gives it less room to move about. You can then stuff around it with bags of soft stuff, like clothes or a pillow, that will kind of hold it in place a bit. Best of luck!

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?
@GoodGrowing2 жыл бұрын
unfortunately any leaf bits that go brown or crispy cannot recover. You can trim off the entire leaf or just the brown bits. Might be worth upping the humidity though to prevent future leaves from going crispy as well :) good luck!

@@GoodGrowing I just picked up one of these scary beauties tonight. I have the peacock one and she does great where she seems to be on my living room table few feet from south window. I had a Velvet touch and moved her once and she never recovered. Anyway, my question is , being terrified to lose another like that beautiful Velvet one I'm trying to make sure I do all right. Is fish water from my tank safe for the calathea just like the rest of my plants or should I still stick with the bottles water for them ?????

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. 😊
@GoodGrowing5 жыл бұрын
Thanks! hmmm.. if you don't have insta maybe facebook. If you like my page "Good Growing" you can probably post a pic or comment the pic on one of the posts? I'm sorry to hear your edges are browning.. its difficult to know why with calatheas as that could mean a bunch of different things! Are the edges soft or crispy?

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?
@GoodGrowing4 жыл бұрын
Oh no!!! That would be a massive shock to any plant. Tbh, I'm not too sure how it will recover as I haven't experienced this myself. I'd say if anything, just give it some time. Keep it humid and make sure you're watering regularly. Best of luck!

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?
@GoodGrowing4 жыл бұрын
Hmm that's kind of difficult to answer without knowing your house and your plant, but I will do my best (remember this is all advice from my own experience, so it's not foolproof). Will anyone else be home while you're away? If so, maybe leave it where it is and have them keep an eye on it. Will it get direct sun in your kitchen? If so, don't put it there. Will it get enough light? If not, don't put it there. Other than that, give it a water before you leave, and it should be fine (especially since the weather has turned and will take longer to dry out). Best of luck!!
@mrsphilo52424 жыл бұрын
@@GoodGrowing Thank you so much Emma for replying. There won't be anyone while i am away. My kitchen doesn't get sunlight and neither so bright. As of now i am keeping it in South facing window and it gets enough light i mean one can read and write in that natural lighting. Of course weather here is not so dry. I will definitely water before leaving and let it be where it is...

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
@GoodGrowing5 жыл бұрын
I have repotted one because it was getting quite big in its pot. Be sure to only go up one pot size as you don't want to give them too much room. But really most of my repotting tips are in my repotting video. Give it a watch! I don't repot my calathea there, but it's pretty much the same!
