Description

The Rattlesnake Plant, Calathea Lancifolia or Goeppertia insignis is a beautiful houseplant that features long, lance-shaped light green leaves with dark green spots and purple undersides. Known for its "prayer plant" movement, it curls its leaves upward at night. This species was previously assigned to Calathea but is not Geoppertia. 

 Care

Caring for your Calathea is extremely easy once you understand its needs and signs. These plants like their soil to be evenly moist with little dry periods between watering. They hate over watering and can be susceptible to root rot. On average, watering tends to be around every 7-10 days. Pests can be persistent and they hate cold weather. We recommend using America's Gardens using our special made AMG Blend for planting most house plants. 

Growth Habit

It features long, lance-shaped light green leaves with dark green spots and purple undersides. Known for its "prayer plant" movement, it curls its leaves upward at night. It traditionally becomes 2' H & W at maturity. 

Toxicity

Not considered to be toxic to pets.
