Caring for the Calathea Confusion Electric Shock can be a rewarding experience. Like most Calathea plants, this variety thrives in indirect, filtered light. Placing it near a north or east-facing window is ideal. It is also important to keep the plant away from direct sunlight, as it can burn the leaves.
Maintaining a consistent and appropriate level of humidity is crucial for the health of this plant. It is recommended to mist the leaves regularly or place the plant on a tray with pebbles and water to create a humid environment. This helps prevent the leaves from drying out and promotes healthy growth.
Watering the Calathea Confusion Electric Shock can be slightly tricky. It prefers to be kept consistently moist but not waterlogged. Ensure that the top inch of soil is dry before watering again. Using filtered or distilled water is recommended, as these plants are sensitive to chlorine and other chemicals found in tap water.
