This plant thrives in bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can lead to leaf burn, so it's best to position it in a spot that receives filtered light.
Keep the soil consistently moist, allowing the top inch to dry out between waterings. Be cautious not to overwater, as Calatheas are susceptible to root rot.

This plant enjoys a warm environment, ideally between 20°C to 25°C. It should be protected from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
It can grow to a height of about 30 to 60 cm, making it suitable for various indoor settings. Like many Calatheas, 'Burgle Max' is non-toxic to pets and humans.
