General Maintenance: Regularly clean the leaves to remove dust and enhance their glossy finish. Prune any yellowing or dead leaves to encourage new growth and maintain the plant's aesthetic. Versatile and Decorative: The Calathea 'Grey Star' is a perfect addition to any indoor space, whether it's for a home, office, or even a bathroom where humidity levels are naturally higher.
