Details

The Calathea Makoyana, commonly known as the Peacock Plant, is a tropical beauty celebrated for its vibrant, feather-like foliage. Its broad, oval leaves feature intricate green patterns on the top side, resembling a peacock's tail, and deep maroon undersides, creating a captivating contrast. A member of the prayer plant family, its leaves rise and fold gently with the light, bringing movement and life to any indoor space.

Native to Brazil’s rainforests, this plant thrives in warm, humid environments and adapts well to indoor conditions. Its pet-friendly nature and stunning appearance make it a favorite for plant enthusiasts and decorators alike.

  • Botanical Name: Calathea makoyana
  • Size: Grows up to 12-24 inches tall indoors with proper care.

Care Instructions

  • Light: Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its vibrant patterns. Tolerates medium light but may grow slower. Avoid direct sunlight, which can bleach its leaves.
  • Water: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Use distilled or filtered water to prevent leaf discoloration from minerals. Allow the top inch of soil to dry slightly between waterings.
  • Humidity: Thrives in high humidity. Mist regularly or place near a humidifier to replicate its natural environment.
  • Feeding: Fertilize every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a diluted liquid fertilizer. Reduce feeding in fall and winter.
  • Temperature: Maintain temperatures between 65°F and 80°F. Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 60°F.
  • Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter, such as one formulated for tropical plants.
