Care

LIGHT
Calathea plants prefer medium to bright indirect light, but can tolerate low, indirect light. Peperomia plants are not suited for intense, direct sun.

WATER
Water every 1-2 weeks, allowing the potting soil to dry out between waterings. Expect to water more often when your cactus is in brighter light and less often in lower light. 

IDEAL TEMPERATURE
Cool to warm. Keep plants away from heating and cooling systems, or open doors and windows, that can cause temperature fluctuations and drafts.
