Calathea lancifolia ‘Rattlesnake’ is a tropical favorite, loved for its long, lance-shaped leaves patterned with wavy dark green markings that resemble a rattlesnake’s skin. The undersides glow with a rich purple hue, adding dramatic contrast to its playful, patterned foliage. Like other prayer plants, its leaves move with the light—rising upward in the evening and unfolding again in the morning—bringing a touch of life and rhythm to your home. Native to Brazil’s rainforests, this Calathea thrives in bright, indirect light, consistent humidity, and evenly moist, well-draining soil. Both eye-catching and safe, it is also non-toxic and pet-safe, making it an excellent choice for households with cats and dogs.
