Calathea Insignis (Rattlesnake Plant)

Calathea Insignis, also known as the Calathea Lancifolia or the Rattlesnake Plant, where nature shows off its artistic flair! This delightful houseplant is a star in Leaf Culture's collection, and we guarantee it will steal hearts all over the UK.

The Calathea Insignis is a true showstopper with its elongated, lance-shaped leaves that sport a mesmerizing pattern of dark green lines, resembling the skin of a rattlesnake (don't worry, it's not venomous at all!). As if that wasn't enough, these leaves are known for their nifty party trick - they rise and lower with the sun, a fascinating phenomenon known as "praying." It's like having a miniature acrobat right in your living room!

But wait, there's more! This beauty isn't just about looks; it's also a champ when it comes to air purification. Calathea Insignis takes its role as an air-cleaning maestro seriously, ensuring your home is filled with fresh, oxygen-rich air - perfect for those cosy nights in.

In terms of care, fear not, Leaf Culture's got your back. While it might have a fancy name, this plant is surprisingly low-maintenance. It thrives in bright, indirect light, so it's perfect for that spot where the sun plays peek-a-boo. And here's a top tip: this diva enjoys a little humidity, so a gentle misting session now and then will have it strutting its stuff.

So, whether you're a seasoned plant parent or just dipping your toes into the leafy waters, Calathea Insignis will be your new green BFF. Prepare for compliments from friends and envious glances from neighbours - you've just welcomed a superstar into your home!

Tip regarding Pruning: If some leaves show signs of wear and tear, don't hesitate to snip them off. Pruning helps the plant direct its energy towards new growth.
