Maintain consistently moist soil, but avoid waterlogging. Allow the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out slightly between waterings.

Use distilled, filtered, or rainwater to prevent mineral buildup, which can cause leaf browning. Reduce watering slightly during cooler, dormant periods.

Remove any yellow, brown, or damaged leaves as they appear to maintain the plant's aesthetic appeal and health. Use clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears.

Pruning also encourages bushier growth by removing spent flower stalks or overgrown stems.

Calathea caesariata can be propagated through division. In spring, carefully divide overgrown clumps into smaller sections, ensuring each section has roots and a few shoots.

Pot the divisions in well-draining potting mix and keep them consistently moist.

Repot every 1-2 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one. Use a well-draining, peat-based potting mix.

Repotting is best done in spring, just as new growth begins.
