Calathea Makoyana - Peacock Plant
The Calathea Makoyana, commonly called the Peacock Plant, brings distinctive foliage to your indoor space. This tropical houseplant displays large, oval leaves with an intricate pattern that resembles peacock feathers. Each leaf showcases light green coloring adorned with dark green spots on the upper surface, while the underside reveals a deep red hue that adds visual interest when the leaves move throughout the day.
Plant Specifications
This Calathea Makoyana arrives in a 17cm diameter pot and reaches a height of 40-50cm. The leaves can grow up to 45cm tall, creating a lush appearance that works well as a statement piece or grouped with other tropical plants. The substantial size makes it suitable for floor placement or elevated on plant stands.
Ideal Placement and Light Requirements
Position your Peacock Plant in a location with indirect light, preferably in partial shade. Direct sunlight will damage the delicate leaf patterns and cause fading or burning. North or east-facing windows provide excellent conditions, or place the plant several feet away from south or west-facing windows. This makes the Calathea Makoyana particularly well-suited for offices, bathrooms with windows, or rooms that don't receive intense sunlight.
Watering and Care Instructions
Maintain consistently moist soil for optimal growth. The potting soil should remain slightly damp at all times, but never waterlogged. Water approximately twice per week, adjusting frequency based on your home's humidity levels and seasonal changes. During winter months, reduce watering slightly as growth slows. Always check that excess water can drain freely to prevent root rot.
Why Choose Calathea Makoyana
The Peacock Plant offers more than decorative foliage. As part of the prayer plant family, the leaves perform nyctinastic movement, folding upward at night and opening during the day. This natural rhythm adds a living, dynamic quality to your indoor garden. The striking leaf patterns and coloration make each plant unique, providing year-round visual interest without requiring flowering.
Shipping and Packaging
Your Calathea Makoyana ships in protective packaging designed specifically for indoor plants. A sturdy box safeguards the plant during transit, while a protective sleeve shields the leaves and soil. The plant is secured within the box to prevent movement and damage. This careful packaging ensures your Peacock Plant arrives fresh, healthy, and ready to thrive in its new environment.
