Calathea 'Yellow Miracle'

Say hello to Calathea 'Yellow Miracle' — the drama queen with a heart of gold (literally)! 💛 Her bold green leaves splashed with bright yellow are pure sunshine for your space.

Ready to keep her glowing? Let’s dive in! 🌿

🌞 Light: Bright but Gentle, Please!
Yellow Miracle thrives in bright, indirect light. Too much harsh sun can fade her gorgeous patterns or scorch her leaves, so aim for filtered light or a few feet away from a window.

Bonus Tip:
If her colours start fading, she’s craving a bit more light — just remember, no direct beams!

💦 Watering: Moist, Not Soaked
Calathea 'Yellow Miracle' loves consistently moist soil — but not soggy! Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. She's sensitive to chemicals, so use filtered, distilled, or rainwater if you can.

Bonus Tip:
Keep it steady — sudden droughts or floods make her fussy. Stick to a regular watering rhythm.

🌡️ Temperature: Warm and Toasty
She’s happiest between 65°F – 80°F (18°C – 27°C). No cold drafts, please! She’s a tropical babe and hates chills.

Bonus Tip:
Avoid placing her near AC units, radiators, or draughty windows — she likes her climate stable and cozy.

🌱 Humidity: High Levels, Big Smiles
Humidity is EVERYTHING for this queen. Aim for 60% or higher to keep her leaves lush and happy.

Bonus Tip:
Cluster her with other plants, set up a pebble tray, or run a small humidifier nearby. She'll instantly glow brighter!

🌿 Soil: Light, Breathable, and Moisture-Loving
Use a well-draining, airy mix — something like potting soil + perlite + a little coco coir or peat moss.

Bonus Tip:
Drainage holes are a must. Yellow Miracle hates wet feet!

🌳 Potting & Repotting: Give Her Room to Shine
She’s not a super fast grower but loves a fresh start every 1–2 years. Pick a pot just 1–2 inches bigger than the current one.

Bonus Tip:
Spring and early summer are the best times to repot when she’s in full grow mode!

🧹 Cleaning: Show Off Those Colours!
Wipe her big, beautiful leaves with a damp cloth every few weeks to remove dust and keep her breathing easy.

Bonus Tip:
While you're at it, check for sneaky pests — spider mites love low-humidity homes!

⚡ Troubleshooting: Quick Fixes!

  • Brown Edges: Usually dry air or hard water. Boost humidity and water with filtered H2O!

  • Curling Leaves: She’s thirsty or the air’s too dry. Time to water and mist!

  • Yellow Leaves: Could be overwatering — double-check that the soil isn’t soggy.
