The Calathea Medallion has some of the most impressive foliage there is. Its leaves appear as though painted with contrasting greens, pinks & a deep purple underneath. The distinct pattern is copied on each large medallion shaped leaf, with perfect exactitude. This plant is sure to be an eye-catching centrepiece.
Like all Calathea, it is part of the Prayer plant family, and native to Brazil. Being a tropical plant, it loves humidity and a warm environment. Prayer plants will close up their leaves at night, only to open them again in the morning, a truly magical act.
This plant enjoys a consistent water schedule and prefers not to dry out too much, regular care is advised to get the best out of your Calathea Medallion.
