Plant Rescue: Calathea musaica

[@queeniemaria422]

I'm about to rescue one tomorrow once I adopt her! Thanks for this! Encouraging AND therapeutic for some reason! :*

You are my kindred spirit 😁 I just Rescued one. You’ve given me hope, mine can be saved .

[@SuburbanSill]

It totally can!! Good luck!

I just got one for free on Facebook. But it definitely needs some love. I got a free Vittata with it, and these are my first Calatheas. Wish me luck 🙏🤞

How do I get bigger leaves on mine. The new sprouts on mine are smaller compared to the larged one. It is placed in a bright filtered yard.

[@SuburbanSill]

Try a light fertilizer. Maybe use a mix in organic every time you water or every other. That should give it a boost.

Costco in Illinois has them right now for 17.99! :D

[@Erika70079]

Wow that's so cheap. Those exact plants are $30-$40 Canadian here.

Is she still thriving? I want one but I’ve never had a calathea because I’ve heard the horror stories… :(

[@SuburbanSill]

Give it a try! They are beautiful plants!

[@Erika70079]

I've had good luck so far and they are sooo beautiful.

Do you have an update? I rescued a starter plant with 4 leaves total, 1 completely dead. I’m praying for the little guy. You should see the photos, it’s laughable.

Oh shoot!! My calathea is doing well and has filled in nicely. I still have some brown and yellow leaves too deal with, but otherwise it’s good. If you want to send me photos of yours you can DM me on Instagram @suburbansill
