Sleek, spotted, and always poised for action, Rattlesnake commands attention with its wavy, lance-shaped leaves and deep purple undersides. Unlike its namesake, it won’t bite—but it will hypnotize with its dramatic patterns and daily leaf movements. A true showstopper that thrives when treated with the reverence it deserves. Like all Calathea plants, the leaves adjust as the sun rotates throughout the day.
- Botanical Name: Calathea Lancifolia 'Rattlesnake'
- Common Names: Peacock Plant, Zebra Plant
- Ideal Lighting: Prefers bright, indirect light but adapts to moderate conditions. Too much direct sun, and its vibrant markings may fade—too little, and it might stop putting on its signature performance.
