Its long, lance-shaped leaves carry a distinctive and precise pattern of dark green oval spots and brushstrokes arranged symmetrically along a central midrib of lighter green — a pattern so regular and refined it looks as though it has been painted by hand with a fine botanical artist's brush. Named for its resemblance to the coat of a leopard, the Leopardina brings a sense of wild natural artistry to any interior space, yet its slender, upright leaf shape gives it a more restrained and elegant presence than the bolder, wider-leaved Calatheas. Like all Calatheas, it is a nyctinastic plant — its leaves gently fold upward each evening in a beautiful daily ritual of movement that gives it an endearing, living quality. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Care\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1.
