Calathea Lancifolia Insignis - Rattlesnake

The Calathea is originally from the jungle around the Amazon in South America. Grows there in the lowest layer of the jungle where there is a lot of shade. That makes it a great plant for the darker corner in the home interior. Calthea plants are highly prized and collected for their beautiful leaf patterns.

Calathea are extra special because the plant 'whispers': in the morning the leaves open with a light rustle, in the evening they close again. Plant known for purifying the air.

It is no coincidence that Calathea plants are some of the most popular office plants. The colors and the beautiful texture of the leaf is a wonderful sight.
