Calathea Shining Star tropical Once all flowers are gone

Once all flowers are gone withhold water for up to 6 weeks

and a cool woodland feel

but you can lightly shear the foliage after the main bloom to refresh the plant and encourage a cleaner mound

creating privacy and structure where you simply don’t have room for a fat hedge

Morning sun with afternoon shade (or bright filtered light) is ideal in many regions
