    We love Calathea lancifolia for its personality—it feels alive, expressive, and calming all at once. Its patterned leaves act like natural artwork, while its love of humidity makes it perfect for bathrooms and cosy corners where other plants might struggle.

  • About this plant

    Calathea lancifolia, commonly known as the Rattlesnake Plant, is a decorative houseplant admired for its long, narrow leaves patterned with dark green markings and rich purple undersides. Its gently arching foliage adds movement and softness to interiors, making it a favourite for creating a relaxed, botanical feel. As a prayer plant, its leaves subtly move throughout the day, adding a sense of life and rhythm to your space. It’s ideal for plant lovers who enjoy statement foliage and a touch of the exotic.

    Water when the top layer of compost begins to dry, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Use rainwater or filtered water where possible, as Calatheas are sensitive to chemicals. Reduce watering slightly in winter.

Care tips

Place in bright, indirect or filtered light and avoid direct sunlight, which can fade the leaf markings. Keep in a warm room with good humidity and water regularly during the growing season. Wipe leaves occasionally to remove dust and keep them looking their best.
