The mesmerizing patterns found on the foliage of Calathea houseplants will likely make you do a double-take. These stunners are absolutely beautiful and can add bold color and texture to any area of your home. Even the undersides of the leaves can add visual interest, as they may provide a rich pop of color visible during the evening.
Calathea are sometimes known as Prayer Plants (much like the very similar, but different Maranta plants). These indoor plants have garnered this name through their unique movements, known as nyctinasty. The leaves move throughout the course of a day. It is thought this movement allows the plant to best capture the sun's rays. The leaves will lift up with the front or face of the leaves all bunched together at night, but lower during the day in order to receive light.
Excellent packaging! Plants came in wonderful condition! Worry about plants traveling in the heat. Plants looked better than some I buy in the warehouse! Will definitely order again!
