Light Requirements

Bright to moderate indirect light is ideal. Calathea Freddie tolerates lower light conditions well, making it a great choice for UK homes. Keep away from direct sunlight, which can fade or damage the delicate foliage.

Watering

Keep the compost consistently moist, allowing the top layer to dry slightly between waterings. Avoid letting it dry out completely. Use rainwater, filtered water, or tap water left to stand overnight to prevent leaf tip browning.

Humidity and Temperature

Prefers higher humidity and stable warm temperatures between 16–24°C. Protect from cold draughts and sudden temperature changes. A humidity tray or grouping with other plants helps maintain moisture levels.
