Calathea Crocata Tassmania problems — and how to fix them
Calathea Crocata Tassmania (Goeppertia crocata 'Tassmania') is generally forgiving once you match its basics, but a few issues come up again and again. Here is what each one looks like, why it happens, and the fix.
Failure to bloom
Too little light or short days; provide bright indirect light and a cooler, darker rest period in autumn to trigger flowering.
Crispy brown leaf edges
Low humidity or mineral-laden tap water; raise humidity and switch to filtered or rainwater.
Rotting flowers
Water sitting on the bracts; keep the blooms dry and water at soil level only.
