Here are some basics to know if you want to care for the Calathea Peacock plant the way it needs. It is essential to follow these care steps as this plant is a little more needy when it comes to its needs!1. Peacock Plant Soil
Use a well-draining, peat-based potting mix to provide adequate moisture retention without waterlogging the roots. A mixture of peat moss, perlite, and compost can create an ideal growing medium for the peacock plant. The soil needs to be well-drained as the Peacock plant cannot handle wet feet or waterlogging.2. Consistent Moisture
Maintain consistently moist soil without waterlogging it. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely between waterings, as this can lead to leaf curling and browning.This is a tropical plant and cannot stand having dry soil at any point. Water with room temperature, filtered water to avoid chlorine or fluoride damage to the sensitive roots and foliage.3. Humidity Requirements
As a tropical plant, the Calathea Makoyana requires high humidity levels. Mimic the high humidity of its native tropical environment by regularly misting the leaves or placing a humidity tray nearby. Avoid placing your plant near drafts or vents as it can cause the air to dry out and harm the foliage.4. Temperature and Light
Keep the Peacock plant in a warm environment with temperatures ranging from 18°C to 27°C. Indirect or filtered light is preferable, as direct sunlight can scorch the leaves.5. Fertilization
Feed your Peacock plant with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half-strength every two weeks during its growing season, which is in spring and summer. You can reduce fertilization frequency in fall and winter when the plant's growth slows down. You can even make use of Ugaoo’s Plant Fertilizer Sticks to ensure balanced feeding.6. Pruning and Maintenance
Remove any yellowing or damaged leaves as soon as you see them in order to maintain the plant's appearance and prevent the spread of disease. Regularly dust the delicate leaves of the Peacock Plant with a damp cloth to keep them clean and free from dust buildup, which can hamper with its photosynthesis process.Testimonials
