  • About this plant

    Calathea Medallion is a show-stopping tropical houseplant prized for its bold, patterned foliage. Each leaf features intricate green markings on top and deep purple undersides, creating a high-contrast, painterly effect. Its rounded, wide leaves unfurl with movement and close slightly at night — a charming trait known as nyctinasty. While a bit more particular than some, it rewards proper care with stunning visuals and a lush, full appearance. Perfect for plant lovers who want a vibrant centrepiece that adds life and luxury to indoor spaces.
