This potting soil contains a perfect blend of peat, perlite, and coconut fiber to ensure an airy structure and consistent moisture retention.

How to care for Potting Soil for Calathea & Maranta 5L

Watering for Potting soil for Calathea & Maranta 5L

Calatheas and Marantas prefer evenly moist soil, but not waterlogged. With each watering, allow excess water to drain from the drainage holes to prevent root rot. Always check the top two centimeters of potting soil before watering; if it still feels damp, it's better to wait a day. Our potting soil maintains the moisture balance for longer. Need extra hygiene? Then also check out our hydro grains or pomice .

Light requirements for Calathea & Maranta potting soil 5L

Calatheas and Marantas grow best in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can burn the leaves and fade their beautiful patterns. Place your plants about a meter from an east- or west-facing window, for example. In a dark corner, they will lose their leaf markings and may grow more slowly. Combine your Calathea with a Monstera minima for a playful statement in your living room.

Frequently occurring problems

Yellow leaves

Yellow leaves can indicate overwatering or a nutrient deficiency. Let the top layer of potting soil dry out first and adjust your watering pattern. Preferably use filtered or pre-watered water to prevent limescale buildup. If your potting soil already contains lime, add some activated carbon to correct the pH.

Plant dripping / wetness under the pot

If your Calathea is constantly dripping, it could be caused by a combination of high humidity and low room temperature. Ensure adequate ventilation and use a jungle mist spray to increase humidity without keeping the potting mix soggy. Remove excess water from the saucer after each watering.

Pests (spider mites, thrips, fungus gnats)

Spider mites and thrips like to nest under the leaves, especially in dry air. Regularly wipe the leaves with a damp cloth and, if infested, use our sticky traps against fungus gnats . For an even more thorough approach, you can use a plant sprayer with a green soap solution.

Roots protrude from the ground

If roots are searching for space at the bottom of the pot, it means your plant is hungry for more potting mix or a larger pot. Repot your Calathea in a pot 2–3 cm larger or top it up with fresh "Potting Soil for Calathea & Maranta 5L." Also check out our Potting Soil for Aroids 5L for airy support.

Brown edges on the leaves

Brown or crispy leaf edges often indicate low humidity or too much direct sunlight. Increase humidity with a humidifier or group plants on a tray with hydroponic clays. Make sure your plant is in a bright spot, but not in direct sunlight. Read more about indoor humidity in our blog post " 5 tips for increasing humidity in your home ."

The wood is great.
I used to use a typical padded wrist pad, but am a heavy sweater. Upon reading another review in regards to that matter I decided to take the plunge on this rest. I have been a user of the Model O mouse from Glorious for a while and liked it so I trusted the company's reputation for taking gamers' needs into consideration. After using it for about a week and playing different types of games/working from home on it, I can say that although your sweat might pool during sweaty moments, it's easy to wipe off and doesn't seem to easily absorb into the wood. The wood itself is of a nice quality, I like the oak over the onyx for a more "real wood" look. There was no difference in comfort for me, you'd think being used to a padded wrist this shift would be "hard" on me, but no, I haven't had any problems. It's ergonomics for typing are also good as I notice my WPM and consistency be higher on multiple tests. All-in-all quite satisfied with the purchase, fits the aesthetic, feel, and ergonomics I was looking for.

Very well made, matches width of Keychron Q6 perfectly, great for bigger hands!
This is a nicely finished slab of wood that is an EXACT match for my Keychron Q6 in both width and height. Depthwise, this is 4", so if you got larger hands (as I do), this is a bit better than the silicone Keychron version which I believe is 3.5" or so in depth. The non-stick feet are a nice feature, and the profile is wonderful to type on. Only issue with the item I received is a small nick right below the Glorious emblem on the lower right of the wrist rest - may have been an errant tool mark. However, this doesn't detract in my own opinion, from the well-designed profile and features of this wrist rest and was easily covered with a furniture marking pen. I'm still giving this item 5-stars and getting another one for the office!

Glorious Wooden Palm Rest Durability and Stability in an Elegant Design
Color: Onyx, Size: Mouse Wrist Rest, Color: Onyx, Size: Mouse Wrist Rest
After years of using foam palm rests, I always encountered the same problem: they deformed over time, losing height, ergonomics and, consequently, their usefulness. This is especially critical when you spend between 3 and 8 hours a day at the PC for work, study or gaming, since a bad posture can increase the risk of suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome. This is where Glorious' wooden palm rests come in, a solution that eliminates deformations and offers an ideal height for both the mouse version and the TKL (Tenkeyless) version. Positive points • Solid and durable construction: Unlike foam, wood maintains its shape and provides stable support over time. • Elegant and minimalist design: Its finish gives a premium touch to any setup. • Effective non-slip base: The bottom rubbers prevent unwanted movements, providing total stability. • Easy maintenance: Although wood is slightly porous and can retain natural oils or residue from creams and perfumes, cleaning it is easy. Areas for improvement • Less softness than foam: Although still comfortable, wood sacrifices some of the cushioned feel that some prefer. A redesign with a foam strip on top could improve this. • Inconsistent finish between versions: I bought the mouse rest and the TKL at the same time, but noticed that the color tones were different (one blacker than the other). It doesn't affect functionality, but it does affect aesthetics. If you're looking for durability, stability, and a sophisticated design, this is a highly recommended palm rest, especially if you find it on sale. Although it's not as soft as the foam ones, it does its job of providing ergonomic support exceptionally well. An excellent complement for those who spend long hours at the PC and are looking for a sturdier alternative to traditional palm rests.

great mouse rest
Color: Golden Oak, Size: Mouse Wrist Rest
This works really well for for elevating your wrist, I use an apple trackpad it puts my wrist a little too high so what I did was put some rubber pads on the back of my trackpad to raise it up. It now gives the perfect height and good support I can even lean on it. It works well to the fact that it gives you very good support it's not uncomfortable and it's very easy to clean and looks very nice on my desk, because it's made out of real wood.

Great wrist rest. Smooth finish, good looks, and ideal wrist angle.
This wrist rest sets you up for pretty optimal, level height to prevent future wrist problems. I went with the nice reddish/brown color as it matches my brown wood Edifier speakers and other brown accessories very nicely. Nice matte finish that avoids showing finger prints and skin oils. The color is perfect, not too red or too brown. Keep in mind if your keyboard is angled in the front it will leave a bit of a gap, however it is unnoticeable to me. Also, make sure your arm rests of your chair can come high enough to meet the half inch or so thick wrist rest. My arm rests are a bit low for the time being so some extra pressure is put on my arm behind the wrist when resting on the chair supports.
