The Peacock Prayer Plant, also known as Calathea makoyana, is a stunning houseplant named for its intricate, feather-like foliage. Its broad, oval leaves showcase a delicate pattern of dark green brushstrokes on a pale green background, resembling a peacock’s plumage. The undersides are a rich purple, adding a bold contrast when the leaves gently fold upward at night — a signature Prayer Plant movement.
Thriving in bright, indirect light and preferring consistently moist (but well-drained) soil, the Peacock Plant flourishes in warm, humid environments. Regular misting or placing it near a humidifier will help maintain its lush appearance.
With its elegant patterns and graceful movement, the Peacock Prayer Plant is perfect for adding a touch of tropical charm and sophistication to your home.
