Calathea Makoyana, Prayer plant, 14cm pot
The Calathea Makoyana, commonly known as the Peacock Plant, is a stunning tropical houseplant celebrated for its beautiful foliage. This plant features large, oval leaves with striking dark green patterns and lighter green, feathery markings that resemble a peacock's plumage. The undersides of the leaves display a lovely purple hue, enhancing its visual appeal.
The Calathea Makoyana thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers high humidity, making it ideal for locations like bathrooms or kitchens. It requires consistently moist soil, so regular watering is essential. However, be cautious not to overwater, as this plant is sensitive to root rot. Like other Calathea varieties, the Makoyana exhibits a fascinating movement known as "nyctinasty," where its leaves fold up at night, resembling hands in prayer. This unique behaviour adds an enchanting dynamic to its care, captivating plant enthusiasts and newcomers alike. With proper care, the Calathea Makoyana will flourish, bringing a touch of tropical elegance to your indoor space.
Please note the nursery pot size is 14cm, 45-55cm and the decorative pot is not included. Photos are for representation only; you will receive the same high-quality plants and pot sizes you select.
