Calathea Makoyana – Peacock

Description

Calathea Makoyana (Peacock Plant) – A Living Work of Art

Calathea Makoyana, otherwise known as the Peacock Plant, is a stunning tropical indoor plant valued for its beautiful, feather-like leaves. Its pale green foliage is faintly striped with dark green stripes that strangely resemble the tail of a peacock, so it‘s one of the most ornamental of the Calatheas. As it is a member of the prayer plant family, its leaves will also curl upward and downward when the light changes, providing your space with an ever-changing look.

Care Guide:

✅ Light: Enjoys bright, indirect light but tolerates lower light. Avoid direct sunlight, which will bleach its lovely patterns.
✅ Watering: Water the soil often but not excessively—use filtered or distilled water to avoid leaf scorch.
✅ Humidity: Loves high humidity—ideal for kitchens or bathrooms. Mist or use a humidifier regularly.
✅ Temperature: Enjoys warm temperatures (65-80°F / 18-27°C). Avoid cold drafts.
✅ Pet-Friendly: Safe for cats and dogs since it is non-toxic to them.
