Details

Calathea's are one of our most loved plants, they are known as Prayer Plants and are a bit temperamental needing the right mixture of humidity and indirect lighting. They are also great as they are pet safe and non-toxic.

Rattlesnake Plant Calathea Lancifolia also known as Goeppertia insignis is native to the Brazilian rainforests. Rattlesnake plant is an evergreen herbaceous perennial that has distinctive patterns of leaves in the light and dark-green shades, ruffled at the edges with a purple underside. Calathea lancifolia is part of the Marantaceae family and like other prayer plants, the leaves fold at nighttime and open up in the day symbolizing a new-onset. This tropical plant is very easy to care for and will flourish in suitable conditions. Being native to the rainforests the Rattlesnake plant requires regular watering and ample amount of humidity. The soil should be moist but not waterlogged. We also allow it to dry out for the top 2 inches before watering. This plant grows best in temperatures that range from 65°-75°F.

Available in the following packaging based on your preference:

  • Nursery Pot - Standard plastic 6-inch planter pot that can be placed inside a larger pot or left as is until it outgrows it.
  • Selene Planter - Porcelain 6-inch pot ceramic marble planter with drainage hole and matching rose gold ceramic tray. The planter measures: 7.5" x 6.5" x 6.5" and weighs approximately 3.7 lbs. We recommend placing your plant in the nursery pot inside it to make it easy to water and transplant. 

If your plant needs added humidity our Plant Mister would make a perfect addition to your plant shelf for both function and beauty.

Another beauty

So far so good! I am trying something a lil different and so far all seems to be going well. I see it is doing what it is supposed to do in morning and evening. So I am pleased with that. No leaves have been dropped so I must be doing something right with this one! I have it sitting where it will get just the right amount of light. If my new plants don't do right I will just turn to be a pothos mommy. My entire collection of plants will be of that species.
