Calathea Musaica

Calathea musaica, also known as “Network Prayer Plant,” is a beautiful houseplant native to Brazil. Its charm lies in the unique network-like patterns on its leaves that resemble mosaic art. These green leaves have contrasting thin lines of a lighter green, creating a captivating visual effect. The plant exhibits ‘nyctinasty,’ a behavior where the leaves move upwards during the night, mimicking hands in prayer, hence its name. It prefers a warm, humid environment and indirect light, making it a suitable choice for indoor gardening. Calathea musaica can grow up to 2 feet tall and its distinctive leaf pattern, along with its relatively easy care requirements, make it a popular choice for plant enthusiasts.

This plant is NON-TOXIC to pets
