Calathea makoyana can be propagated by division at repotting time. Keep new divisions warm and moist by covering the pot with plastic and providing reduced light until active growth starts again. The plant should be repotted every year or every other year into fresh potting mix. Divide it at repotting time.

Step 1: Prepare an appropriately sized pot with fresh soil. Using one hand to hold the stems and protect the leaves, gently tip the pot and remove the plant.

Step 2: Use your hands to gently loosen the soil around the roots of the mother plant. Carefully pull the roots apart a bit to see where there’s a good clump of stems that aren’t too connected to the mother plant. Gently pull or cut any connected roots between the two clumps.

Step 3: Repot your new plant into the new container with fresh soil. Repot the mother plant into an appropriately sized pot with fresh soil as well.

Step 4: Water and cover your new plant with a clear plastic bag (a gallon zip-top bag works well for this) to help hold in humidity until you see new growth. During this time, keep your plant in a lower-light spot than usual while it adjusts to its new pot.
