Every plant loves a little extra care! It is best for a Calathea to be repotted once every two to three years. It is best to repot in the spring, because then the growth period of the Calathea also starts, and the plant is strong enough to recover from the move. It is very important that the new pot is at least 20% larger than the old one and that it is filled with fresh potting soil.
Pruning is not necessary for the Calathea. The only thing that is good to do is watch the lower leaves and peel them down when they look limp. Be careful of the juice that gets out of the plant because it could irritate your skin.
Does your Calathea has less showing leaf drawings? This is probably the result of old age. You can fix this by just cutting off the leaf.
