Calathea orbifolia is one of the most sought-after foliage houseplants, admired for its large, rounded leaves decorated with elegant silver-green stripes. Its bold, architectural foliage creates an instant statement, bringing a lush tropical feel to living rooms, bedrooms and home offices. Native to the tropical rainforests of South America, Calatheas thrive beneath the forest canopy where they receive filtered light and consistent moisture. Like other members of the Marantaceae family, Calathea orbifolia gently moves its leaves throughout the day in response to changing light levels, earning it the nickname Prayer Plant. This larger specimen is perfect for creating impact in the home. It thrives in bright, indirect light and appreciates evenly moist compost and higher humidity. Calatheas are also non-toxic, making them an excellent pet-friendly houseplant for homes with cats and dogs.
