How to grow Calathea Medallion seeds

Choose Your Planting Method

• Indoors: Sow in pots of moist tropical potting mix at any time of year.
• Outdoors: Not suited to outdoor growing except in frost-free tropical climates.

Prepare Your Materials

• Small pots with drainage holes
• Moisture-retentive, well-draining tropical potting mix
• Humidity dome or plastic bag
• Spray bottle for misting

Sowing the Seeds

• Sow shallowly in moist mix and cover lightly.
• Note: calatheas are normally propagated by division; seed-grown plants establish slowly, so patience is needed.

Provide the Right Conditions

• Light: Bright, indirect light - never direct sun, which fades the markings.
• Temperature: 65-85°F (18-29°C); avoid cold drafts.
• Humidity: Above 60% - use a pebble tray or humidifier.

Germination

• Keep warm, humid and evenly moist; sprouting can take several weeks.
• Grow seedlings on in bright, indirect light.

Transplanting

• Pot up seedlings into individual pots when large enough to handle.
• Grow on indoors year-round.

Care Tips

• Sun: Bright, indirect light indoors.
• Water: Keep evenly moist but never soggy; distilled or rainwater is best, as tap-water fluoride can brown leaf tips.
• Fertilizer: Monthly balanced liquid feed in spring and summer.
• Wipe leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust.
