Calathea Network
About The Calathea Network

A true conversation starter, the Calathea ‘Network’, also known as Calathea musaica, stands out with its intricate, net-like leaf pattern that looks almost digital. It thrives in medium to bright indirect light and while it appreciates a little extra humidity, it’s more forgiving than some of its Calathea cousins—making it a great pick for plant lovers ready to level up their collection.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the light requirements for a Calathea Network plant?
A Calathea Network thrives in medium to bright indirect sunlight, though it is robust enough to tolerate lower light levels better than most other prayer plants. You can place it near an east- or north-facing window, set it back a few feet from a bright west or south window, or use a grow light!

How often should you water a Calathea Network?
Water your Calathea Network when the top half of soil has dried out, which typically averages to once a week depending on your home's environment. Allowing the plant to sit in stagnant water triggers root rot, while letting the soil completely dry out will cause the foliage to droop and brown.

Why are my Calathea Network leaves turning yellow?
Yellowing leaves on a Calathea Network are most frequently caused by overwatering, poor drainage, or not enough sunlight. If the lower leaves are turning yellow and the stems feel soft or mushy at the base, the soil is holding too much water either due to watering too frequently, poor drainage in the soil, or the plant not receiving enough light.

Does the Calathea Network need high humidity?
The Calathea Network prefers higher humidity if possible, preferably above 40, though its thick leaf texture makes it highly resilient to normal household humidity levels compared to other picky calatheas. Consider incorporating a humidifier to boost humidity levels more consistently if the air in the home is dry.
