Description

Calathea Orbifolia is one of the most striking prayer plants: enormous round leaves painted with elegant silver-green stripes. Its leaves gently rise at night and lower by day — a living, moving piece of art.

It asks for a little more attention than beginner plants — consistent moisture and humidity — but the payoff is unmatched foliage. And unlike many showy houseplants, it is completely pet-friendly, so it can shine anywhere in a pet-loving home.

Care guide

• Light: Medium to bright indirect light only — direct sun scorches the leaves.
• Water: Keep soil lightly moist; never let it dry out fully or sit soggy.
• Humidity: Loves humidity — mist, group with plants, or use a pebble tray.
• Tip: Water with room-temperature water; wipe leaves to keep stripes vivid.
• Pets: Pet-friendly — safe around cats and dogs.
