Calathea plants are prized for their decorative leaves, which often feature intricate designs, vibrant colors, and interesting textures. Here are some care tips for Calathea Freddie:

4. **Temperature**: Calatheas prefer warm temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.

5. **Soil**: Plant your Calathea Freddie in a well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter, such as peat moss.

6. **Fertilizer**: Feed your Calathea Freddie with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).

7. **Pruning**: Trim any yellow or damaged leaves to encourage new growth and maintain the plant's appearance.

8. **Pests**: Keep an eye out for common houseplant pests like spider mites, aphids, and mealybugs. Treat any infestations promptly.
