Calathea Lancifolia 'Rattlesnake'

Calathea Lancifolia 'Rattlesnake'

Botanical Name: Calathea Lancifolia 'Rattlesnake'

Common Names: Peacock Plant, Zebra Plant

Description: The Calathea Lancifolia, also known as the Rattlesnake Plant, is a showstopper with its striking dark green leaves, rippled edges, and vibrant purple undersides. 

True to its name, the unique leaf pattern resembles the markings of a rattlesnake, making it a bold and stylish addition to any indoor plant collection. Like all Calatheas, its leaves move throughout the day, folding up at night and unfurling in the morning—almost like it’s dancing with the rhythm of the sun!

Care Tips:
Thrives in bright, indirect light—keep away from direct sun and cold drafts.
Loves humidity! Mist regularly, use a humidifier, or place it near a pebble tray.
Keep soil evenly moist in summer, allowing the top layer to dry slightly in winter.
Avoid standing water and overwatering to prevent root rot.
Feed with a balanced fertilizer during spring and summer for lush growth.

With the right care, your Rattlesnake Plant will thrive, adding a tropical and dynamic touch to your space!
