Calathea & Prayer Plants
Calatheas and prayer plants are loved for their show-stopping foliage — leaves patterned in stripes, brushstrokes, and rich purples that look almost hand-painted. They're also famous for "praying": many fold their leaves upward at night and lower them again by day, a gentle daily movement that makes them feel alive in a way few plants do.
These tropicals reward attentive care. They prefer bright, indirect light (direct sun fades the patterns), consistently lightly-moist soil, and higher humidity — dry air is the usual culprit behind crispy edges. Many are sensitive to mineral buildup, so filtered, distilled, or rainwater keeps them happiest. Give them warmth and humidity and they'll stay lush and dramatic.
