The Calathea medallion has a memorable appearance with her bold patterned leaves and beautiful deep purple underside. During the day she lets her leaves stand open, but when night falls she closes them up and reveals the deep purple colour on their underside. If you are very quiet you can even hear the gentle rustling as she transforms! The Calathea medallion likes to take up plenty of space, but she doesn’t need a lot of light. As a domestic plant it does well in the darker areas of your living room, the hall or even the bathroom.
