Like others of its kind, the Calathea Rattlesnake gets its name from the unique patterns on its foliage. As a member of the prayer plant family, the long, patterned leaves will close at night, revealing a deep magenta shade on their underside.

Calatheas are moderate growers that can produce lush, vibrant foliage with the right care. Their growth tends to be most active during the spring and summer, when you may see new leaves unfurl every few weeks. However, growth can slow down significantly in fall and winter when the plant enters a more dormant phase.
Factors that influence growth rate include light, humidity, watering, and temperature. Calatheas thrive in warm, humid environments with bright, indirect light. Under these ideal indoor conditions, they can steadily fill out their pots with beautifully patterned leaves.
While they aren’t as fast-growing as trailing or vining plants, Calatheas reward consistent care with full, leafy growth and dramatic foliage that makes a striking statement in any indoor space.
Calatheas thrive in bright, indirect light, much like the dappled light of their native rainforest floors. A spot near an east-facing window or several feet back from a south- or west-facing window is ideal. The key is to provide enough light for healthy growth without exposing the delicate foliage to harsh rays.
Too much direct sunlight can cause leaf scorch, browning, and fading patterns, while insufficient light can result in slower growth and less vibrant leaves.
Although Calatheas can tolerate lower light levels, their growth may become more leggy and the beautiful variegation on some varieties (like Calathea Medallion or Calathea Orbifolia) may begin to fade. If natural light is limited, consider using a full-spectrum grow light to supplement their needs.
Maintaining the right lighting balance will help your Calathea flourish, keeping its striking foliage bold, colorful, and full.
