Further information on your plant

All plants are measured from the bottom of the nursery pot to the tip of the plant and if a height is specified, this is an approximate height, not set in stone. As all plants are living things, they will vary in size throughout the year, and we do our best to give a guide as to the size you can expect. If in doubt drop us an email hello@leafculture.co.uk. And lastly, minor flaws in leaves might be present and will not be covered for compensation. It's worth noting that plants naturally age like people and are rarely perfect.

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.

Interesting attractive and healthy

Lovely little quirky plant. Very impressed with this company in general, I had an order of 12 plants and almost all of them actually exceeded my expectations in terms of their growth/bushiness/size. Every single plant was very healthy, with glossy leaves. The delivery arrived 36 hours after being placed (which was late at night) in robust and sustainable packaging. Personal touches also, good customer service and I loved the fact that I had an unexpected email saying that, as a result of my order, they had planted a tree in the Madagascar mangrove forest via Tree Nation. Wonderful.
