The "Rattlesnake" ranks pretty high as a go-to decorative plant. Its bold patterned foliage and extended crimped leaves are the unique characteristics that place this calathea into the centre of attention.
(SEASONAL) CARE:
summer/early fall
- Dappled/low light is best
- Keep the soil evenly moist but not soaked
- If possible, use distilled water (NOT spring water ), or allow tap water to sit out for a few days
- Does well in a warm environment with high humidity
late fall/winter/early spring
- Bright indirect-medium light is best
- Water when the first 1/4-1/3 of soil is dry
- If possible, use distilled water (NOT spring water, or allow tap water to sit out for a few days
- Keep away from drafts!
- Does well in a warm environment with high humidity
Calathea originate from tropical rainforests and can often be seen growing around the base of trees. That said, these plants require a well-draining potting media that can still retain moisture but not become waterlogged.
*Calatheas do very well in bathrooms (with a window) or closed terrariums.
*Cripsy leaves are commonly caused by lack of humidity/water quality or both
