Calathea makoyana, commonly called peacock plant or cathedral windows is native to eastern Brazil. It is named for its striking foliage that purportedly resembles the beauty of a peacock’s tail. It is a compact species that typically grows to 1-2’ tall. It features reddish-stemmed, broad-oval leaves (to 12” long) with pale cream backgrounds and oval dark green designs and striping. Dark green markings are pinkish-purple on the leaf reverses. Purple and white flowers are somewhat insignificant and rarely appear on indoor plants.
Care
Light Level: Indirect Sunlight
This plant needs to live in a room with at least some natural light. Place it on a table or countertop with windows nearby.
This plant is a very thirsty one, check on it 2-3 times per week and add water every time the top of the soil feels dry to the touch.
Calatheas hate drafts, so keep them away from heating or cooling vents and drafty doors or windows to help keep their foliage looking fresh
