Calathea Lancifolia Insigne (Calathea Rattlesnake)
Calathea lancifolia is a tropical plant, exceptionally decorative, with colorful and varied foliage, native to South America. Calathea is a plant that purifies the air, contributing to a cleaner indoor climate.
Calathea is also special for another reason: at night its leaves close and in the morning they open again! This is why Calathea is also called the "living plant." The plant owes this ability to a small "joint" between the leaves and the stem. Light moves the joints and, as a result, Calathea’s leaves open and close – sometimes accompanied by a rustling sound.
Some leaves may show mechanical defects, but these do not affect the plant’s viability. Under optimal care conditions, new leaves will develop normally.
