Description
Calathea Makoyana is known as the Peacock Plant for its intricate, feather-like leaf pattern. The undersides are a deep purple-maroon, so the plant glows when light passes through it.
Like all prayer plants, its leaves fold up in the evening and open again in the morning. Keep it in filtered light with steady moisture and good humidity and it will stay lush for years. It's also safe around cats and dogs.
