Calathea Lancifolia
The Calathea lancifolia, commonly called the Rattlesnake Plant, is a striking tropical houseplant known for its long, wavy leaves patterned with deep green markings and rich purple undersides. It brings a bold, decorative touch to indoor spaces and is appreciated for its rhythmic leaf movements that respond to light changes.
Light: Medium to bright, indirect. Avoid direct sun, which can fade or scorch the leaves.
Water: Moderate. Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy; prefers soft or filtered water.
Temp: Warm (18–26°C). Needs high humidity; avoid cold drafts and dry air.
Caution: Non‑toxic and safe for pets.
