Calathea Peacock

Product Info
A little about me:
Straight from the rainforest floors of Brazil - here I come to strut my stuff as the prettiest plant in your collection. Also known as a Prayer Plant, I’m famous for my distinctive peacock tail feather inspired patterns on my leaves. I won't lie - I’m not for the beginner plant-parent. I have a list of demands - here goes: a little wet heat in the air (misted distilled water only), nicely filtered sunlight and moisture-holding soil.
What makes me happy:
- I don't like cold, dry air. Or too much change in temp. I’m a rainforest plant - take me into the shower where I like it.
- More water in the summer is my preference - but be careful not to water-log my roots or I’ll bite ya (actually I go yellow and refuse to talk to you)
- Filtered light for me. Use the curtain to shade me from direct sun. Alternatively just somewhere nice and bright where I can see the world go by.
Why you're taking me home:
- Fine around your fur babies.
- You know your way around tricky plants. I’m not for amateurs.
- No block colours - you love a pattern.
