The Calathea Lietzei 'Yellow Fusion' is a truly unique indoor plant, prized for its striking marbled foliage in shades of green, cream, and vibrant yellow. Each leaf is beautifully different, making this rare variety a standout in any plant collection. Like other Calatheas, its leaves gently move throughout the day, earning it the nickname "Prayer Plant."

Light

Thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves and fade the variegation.

Water

Keep the soil consistently moist, allowing only the top 1–2cm to dry between waterings. For best results, use filtered or rainwater, as Calatheas can be sensitive to minerals in tap water.

Humidity

Loves high humidity. A bathroom, humidifier, or regular misting will help keep the foliage looking its best.

Temperature

Prefers temperatures between 18–27°C. Keep away from cold drafts, heaters, and sudden temperature changes.

Feeding

Feed monthly during spring and summer with a diluted indoor plant fertiliser.

Top Tips

• Plant in a rich, well-draining indoor potting mix.
• Avoid letting the soil dry out completely.
• Wipe leaves occasionally to remove dust and keep the variegation vibrant.
• Repot every 1–2 years to refresh the potting mix.
• Watch for spider mites, particularly in dry conditions.
• Brown edges or curling leaves are usually a sign the plant needs more humidity or water.
