For Goeppertia roseopicta, water when the soil is dry to the touch, but not completely dried out. This usually means watering about once every 2 to 3 days. During the hot summer months, you may need to water slightly more often than that. To know if your plant needs water, stick your finger into the soil to check the moisture content. If the first 3 centimeters of soil is dry, then it is time to water. Be sure to water thoroughly, making sure that all the soil is saturated with water.

Goeppertia roseopicta (also known as Calathea roseopicta) is a tropical plant species which needs ample exposure to sunlight in order to grow and thrive.

Goeppertia (Goeppertia roseopicta) should be pruned to maintain a tidy shape and also to encourage plant health and flowering.
