Baby Calathea lancifolia
Calathea Lancifolia is a baby houseplant which is sure to stand out in your home. Upright, lance shaped leaves in pale green have dark green strokes all the way from top to bottom. Velvety, deep purple undersides also add to this stunning plant’s ornamental value. The patterned leaves are what earned the plant its nickname - the Rattlesnake Plant.
Place your Calathea Lancifolia in bright, indirect light and ideally in an area with high humidity such as the bathroom or kitchen. If you would like to put your Calathea somewhere less humid, a regular misting will help, or you can place it on top of a tray of pebbles filled with water. Water your plant little and often, keeping the soil moist but not waterlogged.
The Baby Rattlesnake Plant would make an excellent gift for a plant lover, whether it’s a big occasion or just a small treat for yourself. The striking, variegated foliage is perfect for any room and thanks to its miniature size, it is perfect for smaller spaces such as shelves or desks.
It’s not unusual to give your plant a name… so don’t hesitate to choose one that you think suits the plant! Try naming your plant with the first name or word that you think of when you look at it - that’s how we ended up with an orchid named Clover and spider plant called Joseph.
