Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Why are my Calathea leaves folding at night?
A: This is a natural process called nyctinasty, where the leaves fold up in the evening and unfold in the morning, often referred to as 'praying'.
Q: Can Calathea Green tolerate low light conditions?
A: While Calatheas prefer bright, indirect light, they can adapt to medium to low light environments, but their growth may slow, and leaf patterns might become less pronounced.
