Plant Description
Calathea lancifolia, also known as Rattlesnake Plant, is a popular houseplant known for its long, wavy leaves with dark green spots and purple undersides. This variety, cultivated in Holland, is renowned for its robust growth and vibrant foliage, making it a striking addition to any indoor space. Native to Brazil, Calathea lancifolia thrives in bright, indirect light and high humidity. It requires well-draining soil and regular watering to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. This plant benefits from occasional feeding with a balanced fertilizer. Its distinctive leaves and easy care make it a favorite among houseplant enthusiasts.
Plant Care
Watering
Water your plant once a week or when the soil starts to feel slightly dry on the surface. Keep the soil consistently moist, but be careful not to overwater, as this can cause brown spots and leaf drop. If the leaves become curly or dry, it's a sign that the plant needs water. It's best to water your plant in the early morning or late evening when the temperatures are cooler. Always check the soil before watering.
Light
Provide bright indoor light or indirect sunlight for about 6 to 8 hours a day.
Temperature
Maintain temperatures between 18°C and 24°C. Avoid exposing the plant to drafts, as these can cause undesirable temperature fluctuations. Mist the plant occasionally, about twice a week, to help maintain optimal humidity levels.
Fertilizer
Apply liquid fertiliser every 15 days when the plant is actively growing. For best results, use Folikraft ready-to-use Indoor Plant Food.
