Makoyana

About:

Calathea makoyana, also known as peacock plant or cathedral windows, is a species of plant belonging to the genus Calathea in the family Marantaceae. It is a wonderful plant that can be known to grow up to 2 ft in height when cared for correctly. This plant is a popular choice around the world for a house plant mainly because it makes a lovely addition to any home due to its beautiful foliage and bold markings. The leaves are pale green with a dark green feathered effect from the middle of the leaf to the outer edges. When new leaves grow they are rolled up and show off their pinkish-red undersides; giving it another splash of colour.

Flowering Season: N/A 

Planting Media: Soilrite mix would be a perfect planting medium for all kinds of plants.  If required pebbles (1-1.5cm) can be added to the mix to make sure the planting medium is well drained.

Water: Water thoroughly when the first inch of the soil becomes dry to the touch, stopping when water starts draining from the drainage holes. Avoid overwatering as roots are susceptible to rot.

Sunlight: It likes a lot of diffused light, but direct sunlight will cause the leaves to fade and lose its precious markings. Because it grows on the canopy floor, it can tolerate shade, but it grows much better with indirect light.
