Lighting
Calathea orbifolia
DIAGNOSIS

Too much direct light. Calatheas lose pattern contrast under direct sun — a protective response by the chloroplasts.


PLAN FOR THE COMING DAYS
  1. 01

    Move into the room, 1–1.5m away from the window

  2. 02

    Ideal: north-facing window or east-facing with a sheer curtain

  3. 03

    Pattern will start to recover in 2 weeks
