Calathea Makoyana, Live Prayer Plant, Small 4-Inch Pot

The "Calathea Makoyana" (Peacock Plant) is a striking tropical houseplant that adds a bold touch of natural beauty to any indoor space. Known for its distinctive, intricately patterned leaves, the Calathea Makoyana features dark green markings against a light, almost translucent background, resembling the feathers of a peacock. The plant’s large, oval leaves also showcase a stunning deep purple on the underside, creating a dramatic contrast. Perfect for brightening up living rooms, bedrooms, and offices, this eye-catching plant is a popular choice for plant enthusiasts looking to make a statement with their indoor greenery.

Caring for your Calathea Makoyana is simple, making it a great option for both beginners and seasoned plant lovers. This tropical plant thrives in bright, indirect light, so be sure to place it in a spot with filtered sunlight. It prefers a humid environment and requires consistent watering to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Using distilled or filtered water is recommended, as Calathea Makoyana is sensitive to the chemicals found in tap water. Regular misting or placing it near a humidifier will help maintain the humidity levels this plant loves. Plus, it’s non-toxic, making it a pet-safe choice for households with cats or dogs.

While primarily an indoor plant, the Calathea Makoyana can also be kept outdoors during the warmer months. It thrives in shaded, protected areas with temperatures between 65-80°F, making it a great addition to your patio or garden. However, be sure to bring it indoors when temperatures start to cool, as this plant is sensitive to cold weather. Whether enjoyed inside or out, the Calathea Makoyana adds a tropical, sophisticated touch to any setting while requiring minimal effort to maintain.
