Calathea Insignis, commonly known as the Rattlesnake Plant, is a striking foliage favourite prized for its long, narrow leaves marked with bold, wavy dark-green patterns. The undersides of the leaves reveal a rich purple tone, creating beautiful contrast and movement as the plant responds to light throughout the day.
This elegant tropical plant is perfect for brightening indoor spaces, adding texture to shaded patios, or bringing that lush, rainforest feel to your home. Its sculptural foliage makes it a true statement piece, even without flowers.
Like other Calatheas, it gently lifts and lowers its leaves from day to night — a fascinating natural movement that adds life and character to your space.
Tip: Calathea Insignis thrives with filtered or rainwater rather than heavily chlorinated tap water. If leaf tips start browning, try switching water sources and increasing humidity — it makes a noticeable difference.
