Calathea Burle Marxii 140mm

Calathea Burle Marxii is also known as the “Fishbone Prayer Plant” due to the unique pattern on its leaves resembling fishbones. This plant has elongated, lance-shaped leaves with dark green tops and purple undersides, creating a striking contrast.

Calathea Burle Marxii is known for its ability to fold its leaves upwards at night, resembling hands in prayer, hence the name “Prayer Plant”.

Care includes avoiding excessively dry air, wiping down the broad leaves to keep dust off and finding a good balance between deep watering and allowing the soil to dry a just little. Light wise, this is a houseplant that is happiest in medium to low light.
