Keep your Orbifolia Calathea in a setting that provides bright indirect light. Although these plants can tolerate lower lighting conditions, they will not grow as well. They are unable to take full, direct sunlight. These plants need plenty of moderate, indirect bright light. Calathea must be kept in damp soil at all times, but definitely do not allow the plant to sit in water or in very wet soil. Think 'little and often' as a watering policy. You'll need to mist the leaves, place on a pebble water tray, or use a room humidifier to keep your orbifolia plant happy. An ideal location for calatheas is in a well-lit bathroom or a kitchen. These excellent shower plants thrive in the humid environment and filtered sunlight that many kitchens and bathrooms have.
