The Calathea Peacock (Calathea makoyana) is an elegant prayer plant variety named for its striking foliage that resembles the pattern of a peacock’s tail feathers. Native to the tropical rainforests of Brazil, this plant is admired for its intricate leaf markings — light green with dark green brushstrokes and rich purple undersides.
Like all prayer plants, the Calathea Peacock follows a natural rhythm, folding its leaves upward at night and unfurling them in the morning, adding a touch of movement and life to your space. It’s a favorite among collectors who love bold foliage and a plant with personality.
Care Instructions:
Light: Thrives in medium to bright indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can fade its patterns.
Water: Keep soil consistently moist but never soggy; water when the top inch feels slightly dry.
Humidity: Prefers higher humidity levels — mist often or place near a humidifier.
Temperature: Keep in warm conditions and away from drafts.
Each Calathea Peacock from The Golden Gardens includes a care card with step-by-step instructions for success.
