Don't be afraid of the Rattlesnake plant! The Calathea Lancifolia Insignia has a striking appearance, but is really a sweetheart. She has beautiful lanceolate leaves with wavy edges. The dark green stripes on a light background, burgundy underside and velvety leaves are typical of this Brazilian Beauty. You can understand why she is nicknamed the Rattlesnake Plant! With the right care, this mini can grow into a beautiful houseplant!
Despite her Brazilian temperament, the Calathea Lancifolia Insigne is a forgiving type. She can take a beating, but of course prefers to be well cared for. She can be a bit of a drama queen when it comes to water. She likes moist soil, but soggy soil is a no go. To make her soil well permeable, you can mix her standard potting soil with perlite. In bright, but indirect light, this beauty comes into its own. Place her in a bright room and watch out for bright sunlight.

Unfortunately I don't get along with Calatheas, but the ones bought from Plnts have always been healthy and beautiful

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.
