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!
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.
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.
