Calathea orbifolia is a stunning tropical plant known for its large, round leaves with silver-green stripes. Here are some care tips for Calathea orbifolia:

1. **Light**: Calathea orbifolia prefers bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch its leaves, so it's best to place it in a location with filtered sunlight or where it receives bright, indirect light.

2. **Watering**: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water the plant when the top inch of soil feels dry. Calatheas are sensitive to chemicals in tap water, so it's best to use distilled or filtered water.

3. **Humidity**: Calathea orbifolia thrives in high humidity. To increase humidity around the plant, you can mist it regularly, use a humidifier, or place a tray of water near the plant (make sure the pot is not sitting in water).

4. **Temperature**: Calatheas prefer temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C). Protect the plant from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.

5. **Soil**: Use well-draining, peat-based soil to plant your Calathea orbifolia. A mix formulated for tropical plants or African violets works well.

6. **Fertilizing**: Feed your Calathea orbifolia with a balanced houseplant fertilizer diluted to half strength during the growing season (spring and summer). Avoid fertilizing in winter when the plant is not actively growing.

7. **Pruning**: Remove any yellow or damaged leaves as needed to keep the plant looking tidy.

Calathea orbifolia is a beautiful and striking plant but can be a bit more demanding in terms of care compared to some other houseplants. With the right conditions, it can thrive and add a touch of tropical elegance to your indoor space.
