Calatheas, or prayer plants, are a group of clump-forming,perennial houseplants grown for their attractive foliage and striking leaf markings.
Their rounded, oval or paddle-shaped leaves emerge at ground level, unfurling atop tall, thin stems.
Like others in the prayer plant family (Marantaceae), many calatheas display a phenomenon known as nyctinasty, where their leaves fold upwards at night like hands in prayer.
Plants range from about 20–100cm (8–40in) tall.
Calatheas prefer a bright spot, shaded from direct sunlight at 16–21°C (61–70°F)and avoid temperature fluctuations, so position them away from draughts and direct sources of heat, such as fires and radiators.
Calathea plants enjoy high levels of humidity(moist air), can be kept in a bathroom where there’s plenty of water vapour.
