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.

Caring for your Calathea Makoyana

Difficulty Level - Moderate

Light Requirements Size Guide

- Low Light, Indirect Light, Bright Light

Watering Schedule - Once a week

Water the Peacock Plant regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, but avoid waterlogging. Allow only the top 1–2 cm of soil to dry slightly before watering again. During the active growing season (spring and summer), it may need watering once or twice a week, depending on your indoor conditions such as light, temperature, and humidity. In autumn and winter, reduce the frequency as growth slows. For best results, use filtered or distilled water, as Calatheas are sensitive to chemicals and salts in tap water. Always ensure the pot has good drainage and discard any excess water from the saucer to protect the roots and preserve the plant’s striking patterned foliage.
