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.

How it grows
A clump-forming plant with upright stems and arching leaves that spread outward gracefully, creating a full yet airy silhouette over time.
-
Moisture
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.
