Light
Bright, indirect light is ideal.
It can handle medium light too, but avoid direct sun — that’s when the leaves start to complain.

Water
Keep the soil lightly moist, not soggy.
Water when the top layer feels dry, and always empty the plate underneath after watering.

Humidity
This one loves humidity.
Bathrooms, kitchens, or a spot near other plants work great.

Good to know
If the edges curl or crisp, it’s usually asking for more humidity or filtered water.

The leaves move.
They gently lift and fold at night, then open again in the morning — a behavior called nyctinasty.
It’s why Calatheas are often called “prayer plants.”
