To take care of your Calathea 'White Fusion,' here are some tips:

1. Lighting: Calathea 'White Fusion' prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves. Place it near a north or east-facing window for optimal lighting.

2. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water your Calathea 'White Fusion' when the top inch of the soil feels dry. Use room temperature water and make sure to drain any excess water from the saucer.

3. Humidity: Calathea 'White Fusion' thrives in high humidity. You can increase humidity by misting the leaves regularly or placing a tray of water near the plant. Grouping it with other plants can also help create a humid microclimate.

4. Temperature: Maintain a temperature range of 65-80°F (18-27°C) for your Calathea 'White Fusion.' Avoid exposing it to cold drafts or drastic temperature changes.

5. Soil: Use well-draining soil that retains some moisture. A mixture of peat moss, perlite, and potting soil works well for Calathea plants.

6. Fertilizing: Feed your Calathea 'White Fusion' with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Follow the package instructions for the proper dosage.
