Calathea 'Rattlesnake', Large
Nerd Name: Geoppertia insignis
Other Names: Calathea Rattlesnake, Rattlesnake Prayer Plant
Rattlesnakes are great introductory plants to the Calathea genus, a notoriously more difficult genus of plants to keep happy indoors. Rattlesnake, however, is much more forgiving to imperfect care routines and will reward close-enough care with relatively quick growth. These eye catching leaves unfurl in little tubes and open up to reveal a surprising pattern and a deep purple underbelly. Grab yourself this funky friend and instantly add character to any room.
