Calathea Mosaica is a visually striking and highly sought-after plant known for its unique, mosaic-like leaf patterns. As it is native to the tropical regions of South America, care for Calathea mosaica can be a bit more specific compared to other houseplants, as it thrives in conditions that closely resemble its native tropical rainforest habitat.

It prefers bright, indirect light and should be kept away from direct sunlight, which can scorch the delicate leaves. While it can tolerate lower light conditions, its striking variegation will be most vibrant when it receives ample, filtered light.

Like other Calathea species, Calathea mosaica prefers consistently moist, well-draining soil. It is important to avoid allowing the plant to sit in waterlogged soil, as this can lead to root rot. Regular watering is necessary, but the soil should be allowed to dry out slightly between waterings. Temperature range of 65°F to 80°F (18°C to 27°C) is ideal, and the plant should be kept away from cold drafts or sudden temperature fluctuations.
