Hi Janelle,
These plants like lots of humidity. They should never be allowed to dry out. You could do a search at www.google.com using the botanical name you have supplied and get lots of info.
Hope this helps,
Newt

When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.

Search The Garden Helper:
I have a Calathea Roseoptica that has been problematic almost since I bought it. Although it grows and puts out new leaves quite well, the leaves always eventually develop dried, almost burned looking, brown spots that increase inward from the tips and then the stem, where it attaches to the leaf, starts to turn brown and soft and the leaf dies. This seems to happen regardless of where the plant is or how much I water it.
Does anyone know what the problem could be? And could anyone tell me how I should care for this plant? I would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks!
Janelle
