Calathea makoyana (Peacock Plant) is a showy prayer plant famed for its feather-like leaf patterning—pale green blades painted with dark green ovals and brushstrokes, with rich purple undersides. A standout for bright, gentle light and high humidity.
Foliage: Thin, oval leaves with “peacock feather” markings; burgundy backs.
Movement: Nyctinastic—leaves lift at night and lower by day.
Size & habit: Compact clumper, typically 12–24 in tall/wide indoors.
Light: Bright, indirect light; avoid direct sun to prevent fade/scorch.
Water: Keep evenly moist (not soggy); prefers filtered/distilled or rainwater.
Humidity & temp: Thrives at 50–60%+ RH and 65–80°F; dry air causes crispy edges.
Soil: Light, well-draining mix (potting soil + perlite/bark); feed lightly in spring–summer.
Pet friendly: Non-toxic to cats and dogs.
All plants come with a regular black nursery pot
