Calathea Medallion Live Plant
Best vibrant foliage for enhancing indoor spaces.
Part of the prayer plant family, the stunning Calathea Medallion is arguably one of Mother Nature’s most beautiful creations. Its large, “medallion”-like leaves appear to be painted with brushstrokes of deep green and fuschia tones, flourishing out into a bouquet of unmistakable, colorful foliage. In prime conditions, the Calathea Medallion grows relatively fast and can reach up to two feet in height. The calathea medallion variety has dark-purple foliage with a prominent silver-colored midrib, or central leaf vein, on the round to oblong leaves. Calathea medallion plants enjoy lower light levels, high humidity and moderate soil moisture. Calatheas are often called 'prayer plants' because of their unique leaf movements: they raise and lower their leaves from day to night as a part of their circadian rhythm. Water every 1-2 weeks and adjust frequency depending on light levels provided. Allow soil to half-dry out before watering. Soil should be almost dry about 2” down.
