Description

The Calathea Makoyana, commonly known as the Peacock Plant, is a striking and decorative houseplant known for its intricate, patterned leaves. It is part of the prayer plant family and is admired for its stunning foliage and relatively easy care. The plant has oval-shaped leaves with a unique pattern that resembles a peacock's feathers. The top of the leaves is light green with dark green markings, while the undersides are a rich purple or burgundy color. The leaves have a delicate, almost translucent quality, adding to the plant's visual appeal. The leaves can grow up to 12 inches (30 cm) long.

Size: Your plant will come in a 4-inch pot. Each plant is 5-6 inches in height. The Calathea Makoyana can grow to be about 1-2 feet tall and wide, making it a medium-sized houseplant suitable for various indoor spaces.

Care Requirements:

Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, causing them to lose their vibrant color and pattern. It thrives best in filtered light, mimicking its natural understory habitat.

Watering: The plant likes to be kept consistently moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, and ensure good drainage to prevent root rot. It is sensitive to the chemicals in tap water, so using distilled or filtered water is recommended. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely between waterings.

Humidity: Thrives in high humidity, mimicking its natural tropical habitat. Regular misting, using a humidity tray, or placing a humidifier nearby can help maintain the necessary moisture levels. Low humidity can cause the leaf edges to brown and curl.

Soil: A well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter is ideal. A mix designed for tropical plants or a blend of potting soil with added perlite and peat moss works well. This ensures good aeration and moisture retention without becoming waterlogged.
