Rattlesnake (Calathea Lancifolia)

The Calathea Lancifolia, commonly known as the Rattlesnake Plant, is a captivating indoor plant admired for its striking, elongated leaves with intricate patterns resembling a rattlesnake's skin. It thrives in low to moderate light, making it suitable for various interior settings.

To care for it, maintain evenly moist but not soggy soil, and use distilled or filtered water to prevent mineral buildup. Mist the leaves regularly to provide the humidity it loves, or use a humidifier. Keep the room temperature within a range of 65-80°F (18-27°C). Fertilize every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer. Regularly inspect for dust and wipe the leaves to keep the striking patterns vibrant. The Calathea Lancifolia is an eye-catching and elegant addition to your indoor plant collection.
