Caring for your Calathea Rattlesnake is simple with a few key tips. This tropical plant thrives in bright, indirect light, making it perfect for spaces with filtered sunlight. It prefers a humid environment and consistent moisture, so keep the soil evenly moist without letting it become waterlogged. The Calathea Rattlesnake is sensitive to tap water, so using distilled or filtered water is recommended to prevent leaf curling or browning. Regular misting or placing the plant near a humidifier can help maintain the humidity levels it loves. Additionally, this plant is non-toxic and pet-friendly, making it a safe and stylish addition to any home.

While the Calathea Rattlesnake is primarily an indoor plant, it can also be kept outdoors in shaded, protected areas during the warmer months. It thrives in temperatures between 65-80°F and can add a touch of exotic greenery to your patio or garden when placed in a spot with indirect sunlight. However, be sure to bring it back indoors once temperatures drop, as it is sensitive to cold. Whether indoors or outdoors, the Calathea Rattlesnake is a versatile and low-maintenance plant that can enhance any environment with its unique, decorative foliage.
