Calathea Rattlesnake
Calathea Lancifolia
Calathea Rattlesnake (Calathea Lancifolia) – A Living Work of Art
The Calathea Rattlesnake (Calathea Lancifolia) is a striking houseplant known for its long, crinkle-cut leaves adorned with dark green markings and deep purple undersides. Resembling the patterns of a rattlesnake, this plant brings a bold yet elegant aesthetic to any indoor space. Its eye-catching foliage makes it a true conversation starter and a must-have for plant enthusiasts.
Air-Purifying & Pet-Friendly Choice
Not only is Calathea Lancifolia visually stunning, but it also acts as a natural air purifier, removing toxins and improving indoor air quality. Unlike many houseplants, it is completely pet-friendly, making it a safe and stylish addition to homes with cats and dogs.
A Plant That Moves with Nature’s Rhythm
One of the most fascinating aspects of the Calathea Rattlesnake is its ability to move with the natural light cycle. During the day, its leaves spread open to absorb light, and in the evening, they gracefully fold up, as if resting. This unique characteristic helps create a calming and harmonious environment, connecting you to nature’s rhythms.
Easy to Care for & Fast-Growing
With the right care, Calathea Lancifolia thrives and grows quickly. It prefers indirect light, moderate humidity, and well-draining soil. Regular watering with distilled or filtered water helps maintain its vibrant foliage, while occasional misting enhances its lush appearance.
Enhance Your Indoor Oasis
Whether you're an experienced plant owner or a beginner, the Calathea Rattlesnake is an excellent choice to elevate your indoor garden. Its captivating design, air-purifying benefits, and pet-friendly nature make it an all-round favorite among plant lovers. Bring home this stunning plant and experience its natural beauty every day.
Calathea Rattlesnake Care Guide
Light
Provide Bright diffused light, as direct sunlight will cause the leaves to fade and lose its precious markings. Rattlesnakes grow on the canopy floor, so they can tolerate shade, but will grow much better with indirect light
Water
Keep soil moist but don't let it sit in water as it is susceptible to root rot. Little and often is a good watering policy
Temperature
Warm to high temperatures are preferred, ideally between 18-23° C but can cope with as low as 15°C. Please keep away from draughts
Feeding
Apply a weak dose of a nitrogen rich foliage fertiliser once or twice a month during the growing season.
Grooming
Wipe leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust, so that it can breathe properly
Care
High humidity levels are a must. Stand on a wet pebble tray to improve humidity and mist frequently. Pop it in the shower from time to time to give an extra boost
