Product description
The Calathea Makoyana, commonly known as the peacock plant, is a living indoor plant prized for its striking foliage. Its large, oval leaves feature a light green surface with darker green markings, while the underside shows a deep red tone. The leaves can reach up to 45 cm in height, making this a visually prominent plant for interior spaces. The nursery pot has a diameter of 17 cm.
Use & position
The Calathea Makoyana is well suited to indoor environments where indirect light or partial shade is available. Direct sunlight should be avoided, as it can damage the patterned leaves. This makes it a practical choice for offices, reception areas, hotel lobbies, healthcare facilities, and hospitality venues where bright but filtered light conditions are common. For businesses looking to combine greenery with plants suited to lower-light interiors, the Dracaena Deremensis Lemon Lime indoor plant in basket is a complementary option worth considering.
Care
This plant prefers consistently moist soil. Water approximately twice a week, adjusting based on the humidity level in the space, and ensure the roots are never left standing in water. The Calathea Makoyana thrives indoors and does best with steady moisture rather than irregular watering cycles.
