It's an excellent air purifier and is safe for homes with pets and children. Thriving in bright, indirect light and preferring consistently moist soil, it requires moderate care and can reach up to 2 feet in height. This established plant arrives in a 6-inch pot with a stylish decorative cover.

What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the Calathea Makoyana for its exceptional quality and vibrant aesthetic. The plant consistently arrives healthy, intact, and often larger than expected, thanks to robust packaging. Reviewers frequently highlight the striking 'peacock' foliage as a major positive, meeting high aesthetic standards. While the supplier delivers a beautiful, high value specimen, the overall experience is sometimes tempered by the species' demanding care needs, particularly humidity requirements. This learning curve can lead to minor leaf issues if the home environment is unsuitable. Despite this inherent challenge, the consensus confirms this is a highly recommended purchase for those prepared to meet the Calathea's specific needs.
