Calathea

Calathea 'Prayer Plant'

Botanical name: Calathea spp.

With its striking leaf patterns and graceful movements, the Calathea is the drama queen of the indoor jungle—and we mean that in the best way. Known for its bold, artistic foliage in shades of green, purple, and silver, this plant’s leaves fold upward at night, like hands in prayer, giving it its nickname: the Prayer Plant.

Calatheas bring a touch of tropical luxury to any room and thrive when treated like royalty—warmth, humidity, and filtered light are the way to their heart. Whether it's the pin-striped elegance of Calathea ornata, the velvety texture of Calathea warscewiczii, or the round leaves of Calathea orbifolia, these plants are showstoppers.
