Calathea Lancifolia (Rattlesnake)

Native to Brazil they are also known as the ‘Rattlesnake’ plant and are a colorful member of the prayer plant family, Marantaceae. Calatheas are often called 'prayer plants' because of their unique leaf movements - raising and lowering their leaves from day to night as a part of their circadian rhythm. It is theorized that these movements are meant to follow the sun and catch as much light as possible- an essential trait for a forest-floor-dwelling plant.

LIGHT: Medium to bright indirect light - dappled light is best. 

WATER: Water moderately spring through fall, allowing the top inch or two of soil to dry completely before re-watering. Mist often.
