Prayer Plant

PRAYER PLANT (Calathea spp.)

Size: Up to 3 feet tall
Water: Keep evenly moist. Don’t allow to become overly soggy or dry out completely. May be sensitive to tap water, so use distilled or filtered water.
Fertilize: Once a month from spring through fall.

Also called rattlesnake plant, peacock plant, or zebra plant, this popular houseplant is grown for its decorative foliage in an assortment of patterns, colors, and shapes. Prayer plants don’t like their roots disturbed, so repot in early spring only if rootbound.
