Peacock Plant

Description

Peacock Plant (Calathea makoyana) is a highly desirable indoor plant, admired for its broad, oval leaves patterned with intricate feather-like markings in rich shades of green. Each leaf is unique, with light green backgrounds and darker green designs that resemble peacock feathers, while the undersides glow with a deep purple hue. This dramatic contrast creates a bold decorative effect that instantly elevates the look of any space.

Native to the tropical rainforests of Brazil, the Peacock Plant thrives in warm, humid conditions and adds a refined tropical beauty to modern interiors. Its compact, bushy growth habit makes it perfect for tabletops, shelves, or indoor corners where its foliage can be admired up close.

The Peacock Plant prefers bright, indirect light to keep its vibrant patterns strong and grows best in consistently moist but well-draining soil. Harsh direct sun can scorch its delicate leaves, so filtered light is ideal. Regular misting or the use of a humidifier helps maintain the humidity it loves, while monthly feeding during the growing season supports lush, healthy growth.

This calathea can also be propagated through careful division, making it a rewarding plant for enthusiasts who enjoy expanding their indoor garden or sharing with friends.
