Calathea vittata
Water well if kept in pots but sparingly in terrariums, potting mix must be allowed to almost dry between waterings. Keep in some direct sunlight or provide artificial light. Avoid heaters and drafty positions. Fertilizer should be only used if you would like the plant to grow. Lack of fertilizer will keep plants shorter and more compact.
Temperatures above 20c will speed up growth, between 15 and 20c grow will be extremely slow and plants can be pruned to keep compact. This Calathea is moderately hardy but will not survive in cold climates without heating. Keep on the dryer side in winter.
