Calathea, like many tropical plants, might have unpleasant visitors from time to time. Spider mites, fungal mosquitoes, scale, and mealybugs are the most related features. The most frequent treatment for them is neem oil. Calathea’s green and broad leaves are a favorite food of several caterpillars. They produce tiny larval forms, which are laid by various moths or butterflies.
