Product Overview
Calathea Lancifolia
Cultivated
Calathea lancifolia is a refined tropical foliage plant admired for its elongated, gently undulating leaves, deep green patterning, and rich purple undersides that introduce movement and texture into interior spaces. Often referred to as the Rattlesnake Plant, this cultivated variety belongs to the group commonly known as prayer plants, celebrated for their expressive foliage and dynamic leaf movement.
Native to the tropical forests of Brazil, Calatheas evolved beneath dense jungle canopies where humidity is high and sunlight is filtered and indirect. This natural environment shaped Calathea lancifolia into a plant that performs beautifully indoors when provided with consistent moisture, moderate humidity, and stable, indirect light conditions that support healthy growth and vivid coloration.
Selected for the Eden Tropicals Cultivated collection, Calathea lancifolia offers a graceful, architectural silhouette that complements modern, organic, and design-forward interiors. Its elongated leaf form and rhythmic patterning add visual interest without overwhelming a space, creating an atmosphere that feels curated, balanced, and intentionally styled.
With proper care, Calathea lancifolia rewards attention with active leaf movement and enduring ornamental appeal. Its pet-friendly nature, distinctive foliage, and composed tropical presence make it an excellent choice for plant enthusiasts seeking an indoor foliage plant that feels elevated, expressive, and thoughtfully chosen.
