Calathea can be difficult only because the plants require specific conditions and aren't particularly hard to neglect. They will thrive indoors if you can mimic a tropical climate.

Set them up by a window that gets bright, indirect light. Too little light can result in leggy growth with lots of space in between the leaves. But too much light can cause many of the leaves to turn yellow at the same time.

Philodendrons like loose potting soil that is rich in organic matter. The soil must have good drainage. For container plants, it is recommended to replace your philodendrons soil every couple of years or so.

Use a balanced liquid fertilizer monthly on your plant in the spring and summer. Then, reduce feeding to every six to eight weeks in the fall and winter.

The vining varieties grow several feet, usually requiring some support structure to climb on. Non climbing varieties grow upright and are excellent foliage plants. In general, Philodendrons have a fast growth rate.

Pet Friendly? No, Philodendrons are toxic, keep away from pets and anyone who may ingest!

African violets are popular houseplants known for their vibrant flowers and velvety leaves, thriving in indoor environments with moderate light and humidity.
