Calathea Lancifolia – The Living Work of Art
The Calathea Lancifolia, commonly known as the Rattlesnake Plant, is a stunning houseplant celebrated for its dramatic, lance-shaped leaves with wavy edges. Its foliage features striking dark-green patterns on a vibrant lime-green background, with deep purple undersides that add a splash of color and intrigue. A favorite among plant enthusiasts, this tropical beauty brings elegance and vitality to any home or office.
Key Features:
- Exquisite Foliage: Showcases long, wavy leaves with bold, eye-catching patterns that resemble the markings of a rattlesnake.
- Dynamic Colors: The vibrant green tops and rich purple undersides of the leaves create visual interest from every angle.
- Air-Purifying: Improves air quality by filtering toxins, creating a healthier indoor environment.
- Interactive Growth: Known as a “prayer plant,” its leaves move in response to light, folding up at night and opening during the day—a fascinating display of nature.
- Perfect Size: Compact enough for shelves, desks, or side tables, while still making a statement as a decorative accent.
Care Instructions:
- Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light but can adapt to lower light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its leaves.
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Use distilled or filtered water, as the plant is sensitive to fluoride and salts in tap water.
- Humidity: Loves high humidity. Mist regularly or place near a humidifier to mimic its tropical origins.
- Temperature: Prefers temperatures between 65-80°F. Avoid exposure to drafts or sudden temperature changes.
- Soil: Use well-draining, peat-based potting mix to maintain optimal moisture levels.
