Calathea

Brief Description

Calathea, commonly known as prayer plants, are prized for their strikingly patterned leaves and unique ability to fold their leaves at night, resembling praying hands.

Care Instructions

Calathea prefers high humidity and should be kept in a warm environment away from direct sunlight. Water regularly to keep the soil moist but not soggy, and mist the leaves to maintain humidity.

Medicinal Value

While not widely known for medicinal uses, some species of Calathea may have mild anti-inflammatory properties, though they are primarily used for ornamental purposes.
