Hello.

I live in Ga. We are having days in the low 80's and night's in the mid 50's.Can my calathea plant stand temps if they drop below 50*.?

I just have had a hard time finding much info on this plant.The leaves are just kind of doing their own thing,is there some kind of pruning I'm suppose to be doing.When i bought the plant i thought it was a low growing plant and the leaves grew in kind of a circular pattern.I must have a different variety.

Also does anyone have an opinion or any advice about putting my prayer plant out.I have kept it inside so far and am wondering if it should go outside in the shade?Can it take the heat of our summers.Already having problems with brown,dry tips on the Maranta AKA prayer plant.

Any advice or help will be greatly appreciated!!!!!
