Appearance of the plant: The Calathea makoyana, also called the Peacock Plant, features elegant, oval-shaped leaves with a deep green base and striking light green patterns resembling delicate brush strokes. Its bushy, compact growth and intricate leaf designs make it a decorative highlight in any indoor space.
Placement: Thrives in bright, indirect light or partial shade. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn. Perfect for indoor areas such as living rooms, offices, or bedrooms.
Water requirements: Keep the soil consistently moist, allowing the top layer to dry slightly between waterings. Sensitive to water quality, so rainwater or filtered water is recommended. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
Care tips: Prefers a humid environment. Occasional misting or placing near a humidifier helps maintain vibrant foliage. Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
Shipping: Both plants are carefully packed in sturdy, plant-specific boxes. The soil and plants are secured with protective covers to ensure they arrive healthy, fresh, and undamaged.
