Calathea

Calatheas (and their cousins, the Marantas) are the drama kids of the plant shelf — all bold patterns, crisp stripes, and nightly leaf-folding rituals.
Often called “prayer plants,” these tropical beauties thrive in bright, indirect light with high humidity and a consistent watering routine.
You’ll find everything from velvety deep purples to intricate pinstripes and neon flashes — no two are quite alike.
A little bit fussy, sure — but totally worth it if you’re into showy foliage and plants with personality.
