The Calathea Makoyana or peacock plant is one of our bestsellers. Its green leaves with purple accents catch many eyes and make it really stand out!
Calatheas are generally not the easiest plants to care for. They grow on the jungle floor, which brings a few things with it.
Calatheas like moist and warm air. They also cannot tolerate direct sunlight (normally the tropical foliage blocks all light rays). So do not put them in the sun, rather at a northern window. Wind and drafts do not occur in the jungle either, so be careful!
