How often should I shower my houseplants?
Most leafy houseplants enjoy a gentle shower every 4–8 weeks to rinse dust and pests, as long as the soil can drain well and the leaves dry quickly. Avoid frequent showers for succulents, cacti, and very fuzzy‑leaved plants.
Calathea (pinstripe calathea)
Why are the edges of my Calathea (pinstripe) leaves drying out?
On Calatheas, crispy brown edges are almost always from dry air, underwatering, or tap water sensitivity. Check humidity and watering first, then adjust light and water quality.
