How to care for a Calathea Fusion Yellow

The Calathea Fusion Yellow isn't difficult to grow, but it does have a few distinct preferences. With the right care, it will remain a focal point in your home for years to come.

Light incidence for the Calathea Fusion Yellow

This plant loves bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight is too intense and can fade or even burn the beautiful leaf colors. So don't place it on a windowsill in full sun, but rather in a spot with filtered light or near a curtained window. The Calathea adapts well, but in a dark corner it will grow more slowly and its colors will be less vibrant.

How do you water the Calathea Fusion Yellow?

The Calathea Fusion Yellow prefers slightly moist potting soil, but definitely not wet feet. Water it about once a week, allowing the top layer of soil to dry slightly between waterings. Use filtered or rainwater, as hard tap water can cause brown spots on the leaves. In winter, you can water slightly less frequently, depending on the humidity in your home.

The perfect potting soil for the Calathea Fusion Yellow

Well-draining, airy potting soil is essential. Use a mixture of houseplant potting soil with added perlite or sphagnum moss to improve drainage. Calatheas prefer slightly acidic soil that isn't too compact. Also, browse our full range of potting soil and accessories to create the perfect mix.

Common problems with Calathea Fusion Yellow

Although this plant is quite forgiving, some minor problems can crop up occasionally. Don't panic, with the right approach, you'll quickly get it back to health.

The plant drips water

Drops at the leaf tips are usually nothing to worry about. This is guttation: a natural process in which the plant releases excess moisture. This usually occurs when the plant is receiving a lot of water and the humidity is high. Make sure you don't overwater and that the potting soil has time to dry out sufficiently between waterings.

Yellow leaves

Yellow leaves can indicate overwatering, insufficient light, or leaf aging. Check that the potting soil isn't too wet and, if necessary, move the plant to a brighter location. Also read our guide on root rot , as this is a common cause of yellowing in houseplants.

Pests on your Calathea Fusion Yellow

Spider mites, thrips, or aphids can occasionally appear. Check the undersides of the leaves regularly and, if an infestation occurs, use an organic insecticide like our Jungle Mist Spray. Want to know more about thrips? Then check out our article about thrips on monstera .

Roots grow from the bottom of the pot

If you see roots appearing at the bottom of the pot, your Calathea Fusion Yellow needs a larger pot. Choose a pot 2 to 4 cm larger in diameter and fill it with fresh, airy potting soil. Don't forget to use hydroponic pebbles in the bottom for better drainage.

Brown edges on the leaves

Brown edges often indicate low humidity or water with too much lime. Place the plant near other plants or use a humidifier. You can also mist it lightly daily or follow a humidity tip from our guide. Preferably, use filtered or rainwater when watering.

Is the Calathea Fusion Yellow poisonous?

Good news: Calathea Fusion Yellow is not toxic to pets or children. It's therefore a safe choice for cats or dogs. Also check out our list of non-toxic plants for pets .
