Rattlesnake Calathea In Contemporary Terracotta

Rattlesnake Calatheas, native to the rainforests of Brazil, can be tricky plants to nurture, but given patience and the right care, you’ll be rewarded with an impressive display of foliage. The distinctive decorative markings, which give them their common name, on the elongated leaves offer many variegated patterns in various shades of green. Even the undersides of their leaves are breathtaking with striking purplish-red tones.

While they’re gorgeous, the Calathea is not a plant for the faint of heart or beginning plant parents because of their particular light, water, and humidity requirements.
