How to care for a Calathea Fusion Yellow
Watering Calathea Fusion Yellow
Water your Calathea Fusion Yellow moderately, keeping the soil constantly slightly moist but not soaking wet. Avoid large puddles in the pot and water in small amounts more frequently. Preferably use lukewarm filtered or rainwater to prevent limescale buildup.
Light requirements for Calathea Fusion Yellow
The Calathea Fusion Yellow prefers a spot with indirect, filtered light. Direct sunlight can burn the leaves and fade the yellow markings. A bright north- or east-facing room is ideal, or place the plant about a meter from a window. Insufficient light can cause the plant to droop and grow more slowly.

Common problems and solutions
Yellow leaves
Yellow leaves can indicate too much direct sunlight or an irregular watering schedule. Check that your plant isn't in direct sunlight every afternoon and adjust its location if necessary. Also, water regularly and in small amounts to keep the soil evenly moist.
Plant is dripping
If moisture drips from the leaf edges, this is guttation. This means the roots are actively absorbing water, and excessive humidity causes the plant to transpire from the sides. Ensure good air circulation and avoid overwatering. A dehumidifier can help if the problem persists.
Plagues
Spider mites, thrips, or aphids can damage the beautiful leaf markings. Check the undersides of the leaves weekly for fine webs or sticky deposits. If you first notice any signs, you can use a mild soap solution or an organic spray, such as jungle mist spray .
Roots growing out of the pot
When the roots extend past the drainage hole at the bottom, the plant needs a larger pot. Repot the Calathea Fusion Yellow preferably in spring and use an airy, well-draining potting soil such as our potting soil for aroids .
Brown leaf edges
Brown edges are often caused by overly dry air or hard water. The humidity in most living rooms is too low for tropical plants. Increase the humidity with a plant mister or place a water dish with hydro grains next to your plant. Also read our tips in 5 tips for increasing humidity .
