Calathea plants are known for their stunning foliage patterns and colors, making them popular choices for indoor plant enthusiasts.

Here are some general characteristics and care tips for Calathea plants, including those with green foliage:

 

1. **Appearance**: Calathea plants typically have broad, decorative leaves with colorful patterns, including shades of green, purple, pink, and white. The leaves often have intricate designs like stripes, spots, or marbling.

 

2. **Light**: Calathea plants prefer bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch their leaves, so it's best to place them in a location with filtered light or a few feet away from a window.

 

3. **Watering**: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of the soil feels dry, and make sure the pot has good drainage to prevent root rot.

 

4. **Humidity**: Calathea plants are native to tropical regions and thrive in high humidity. To increase humidity levels, you can use a humidifier, place a tray of water near the plant, or mist the leaves regularly.

 

5. **Temperature**: Calathea plants prefer temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C). They are sensitive to cold drafts, so avoid placing them near doors or windows that may let in chilly air.

 

6. **Soil**: Use a well-draining, peat-based potting mix to provide good aeration and moisture retention for your Calathea plant.

 

7. **Fertilization**: Feed your Calathea plant with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).

 

8. **Maintenance**: Remove dust from the leaves regularly by gently wiping them with a damp cloth. Prune yellow or damaged leaves to encourage new growth.

 

By following these care tips and providing a suitable environment for your Calathea "Green" plant, you can enjoy its beautiful foliage and help it thrive indoors. If you have a specific variety of Calathea in mind, additional care requirements tailored to that particular cultivar may apply.
