The Calathea medallion, also known as Calathea veitchiana, is a striking tropical houseplant with beautifully patterned foliage. Its leaves are oval-shaped with a rich green color and intricate, silver or cream-colored markings with purple undersides. It raises and lowers these leaves from day to night, a phenomenon called nyctinasty and the source behind its nickname prayer plant. This plant is pet-friendly!

Care Guide

Calathea Medallion Tropical Americas
Plant Care
  • Thrives in medium to bright indirect light, but can tolerate low indirect light.
  • Water every 1-2 weeks, allowing soil to dry out half way down between waterings. Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light. This plant can benefit from extra humidity. Calatheas can be sensitive to hard tap water. Try using filtered water or leaving water out overnight before using.
  • This is a pet friendly plant.
