This member of the Marantaceae family is also known as the Rattlesnake Plant for its striking patterns. Its long and narrow leaes have ruffled edges that are unique to this Calathea species. They are bright green with alternating dark-green markings down each leaf. The underside of the leaves are purple. Coming from the prayer plant family, the Calathea is known to fold its leaves upwards and inwards at night time (or in the dark) in a prayer-like motion.

The plant is sold in a plastic grow pot. Add a decorative pot to complete the look.
