The Calathea Burle Marxii, also known as the Prayer Plant, is a stunning tropical houseplant admired for its graceful, oval leaves patterned with elegant dark-green stripes and silver undersides. Its lush, cascading foliage makes it an ideal choice for 6-inch hanging baskets, where its beauty can be admired from every angle.

Native to the rainforests of Brazil, this Calathea is loved for its rhythmic leaf movement — the leaves rise and fold at night, adding a unique sense of life and motion to any indoor space. It thrives in bright, indirect light and humid environments, making it a favorite among houseplant collectors who appreciate bold, exotic foliage.

  • Water: Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy; use filtered or distilled water.

  • Humidity: Prefers high humidity; mist regularly or use a humidifier.

  • Fertilizer: Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a diluted houseplant fertilizer.

  • Pet Safety: ✅ Non-toxic to cats and dogs, making it a safe indoor plant for pet-friendly homes.
