Prized for their ornate foliage patterns and colors and related to prayer plants (marantas), Calatheas bring stunning beauty to home decor as tropical houseplants. Calathea makoyana (peacock plant) is a pet-safe houseplant that desires medium to bright, indirect light and tolerates low light. Being tropical plants they prefer temps in the range of 65 to 85°F.
Avoid placing your calatheas next to drafty doors or windows during cold weather. To better mimic the humidity of their native habitat, consider using a humidifier or plant mister filled with filtered water or a pebble tray. You can feed them with a general houseplant fertilizer during the growing season.,Prized for their ornate foliage patterns and colors and related to prayer plants (marantas),
