Details
The Calathea 'Musaica', also known as the Network Plant, is a tropical gem celebrated for its intricate, mosaic-like leaf patterns. The fine, grid-like veining on its bright green leaves creates a stunning, symmetrical effect, making it a standout choice for plant enthusiasts and collectors. As a member of the prayer plant family, its leaves gently rise and fold in response to light, adding a dynamic quality to its beauty.
Native to the rainforests of South America, this Calathea thrives in warm, humid conditions and adapts well to indoor environments. Its pet-friendly nature and unique foliage make it a favorite for homes, offices, or plant collections.

- Size: Grows up to 12-24 inches tall and wide indoors with proper care.
Care Instructions
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its vibrant leaf patterns. Tolerates medium light but may grow slower and lose some vibrancy. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its leaves.
- Water: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Use distilled or filtered water to avoid leaf discoloration caused by tap water minerals. Allow the top inch of soil to dry slightly between waterings.

- Feeding: Fertilize every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a diluted liquid fertilizer. Reduce feeding in fall and winter.
- Temperature: Maintain temperatures between 65°F and 80°F. Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 60°F.
- Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter, such as one formulated for tropical plants.
