Baby Calathea makoyana

Calathea Makoyana is a baby houseplant with attractive foliage which is the star of the show. Its light green leaves have splashes of dark green, creating a hand-painted effect. This pattern is also where the plant earns its nickname - the Peacock Plant.

Place your Calathea Makoyana in bright, indirect sunlight and water little and often. This baby plant likes humidity, so try to replicate its natural, tropical environment by placing it in the bathroom or kitchen ever so often, or delight it with an occasional misting.

The Baby Peacock Plant is an excellent choice for any plant lover and would even make a beautiful plant gift. With its highly ornamental and eye-catching foliage, it’s sure to look great in any home.

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.
