Calathea "Rattlesnake" 6"
A little wild, a little dramatic, and absolutely worth it. The Rattlesnake Calathea is known for its long, wavy leaves covered in dark green spots with rich purple undersides. As a member of the prayer plant family, its leaves gently move throughout the day, making it one of the most interactive plants in your collection.
Why you'll love it:
• Unique spotted foliage with purple undersides
• Leaves move throughout the day and night
• Pet-friendly 🌿
• Adds instant tropical vibes to any space
Care Instructions:
☀️ Light: Medium to bright indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can fade and scorch the leaves.
💧 Water: Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch of soil begins to dry.
💦 Humidity: High humidity preferred. Thrives in bathrooms, near humidifiers, or grouped with other plants.
🏡 Indoor/Outdoor: Best grown indoors. Can be grown outdoors in warm, humid climates in a shaded location.
🐾 Pet Safe: Yes. Non-toxic to cats and dogs.
🌱 Fertilizing: Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced houseplant fertilizer diluted to half strength.
Plant Parent Pro Tip:
If the leaf edges start turning brown, your Rattlesnake is usually asking for more humidity or filtered water. She's not being dramatic... okay, maybe a little. 🐍🌿
