Calathea 'Lancifolia'

Rattlesnake Plant

  • Product Info

    Calathea love a warm and humid environment to look their best. Water regularly, as the top soil feels dry to the touch, and fertilize once a month in the growing season to be rewarded with frequent scrolls of new leaves. Calathea can be sensitive to hard water and chlorine, so ideally use rain or filtered water where possible to avoid crispy discoloured edges.

     

     

     

  • Care guide:

    Light:
    Calathea lancifolia thrives in bright, indirect light, which helps maintain its vibrant patterns and healthy growth. It can tolerate lower light levels, but avoid direct sunlight as it can scorch the delicate leaves and cause fading.

    Watering:
    Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Use filtered, distilled, or rainwater to avoid leaf damage from minerals or chlorine. During winter, reduce watering slightly as the plant's growth slows.

    Fertilizing:
    Fertilize every 4–6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer. Avoid feeding in the fall and winter when the plant's growth naturally slows to prevent over-fertilization.

  • Nursery Pot Size:

    14cm
