The Calathea Makoyana (Peacock Plant) is a plant with impressively drawn large leaves. The spots run along the striking main vein. The Calathea grows in the tropical rainforest where the plant stands in a warm and humid place, protected from direct sunlight. The plant has a special feature; in the evening the leaves are folded together and in the morning they are unfolded again.
The plant should not have full sun but a lot of filtered light. Do not water the plant too much and allow the soil to drain well each time after watering. No water should remain in the pot, but the soil should not dry out either.

Simply stunning! Small but healthy and with wonderful new leaves. I already had one makoyana at home, and felt the need to have one as well in the office, to get along the day with me as it opens its leaves with sun and closes them with the dark.

It travelled well and came in perfect condition (both leaves and roots, pest free). It´s one of the easiest calatheas. For a calathea, she is resilient. Highly recommended.

Everything about Calathea
Calathea plants, also known as prayer plants, are popular indoor plants due to their unique and stunning leaves. These plants are known for their oval-shaped leaves, often patterned with intricate designs and shades of green, pink, purple, and yellow. Prayer plants are so beautiful that it's hard to miss one in a plant shop!
Calatheas are also known for being fussy, so finding the proper watering regime and the humidity level may take some time. Thus, it's perfect for someone more experienced or willing to spend some time on it.
