The Calathea has little nutritional needs. When fertilizing, you must therefore be careful because the Korbmarante responds to excessive fertilizer with yellow leaves.
If the leaves have turned yellow, you should repot the plant immediately. Put them in fresh substrate that should not be too nutritious.
The Calathea is fertilized in the summer only every four weeks with liquid fertilizer in not too high concentration. During winter time, she gets no additional fertilizer.
Tips
Calathea does not need a winter break like many other indoor plants. Temperatures must not be lower than 18 degrees in winter. A little less is poured in the dark season.
