Native to the tropical forests, Rattlesnake Calathea flourishes in medium, indirect light. A small amount of direct sun early on is acceptable; however, midday or afternoon sunlight should be evaded altogether. An east-facing window is a fantastic option, while south and west-facing windows can also do the job, provided curtains are used or placed several feet away from any direct lighting source. 

Rattlesnake Calathea grows best in a space with bright indirect light, where the sun rays are diffused, and can also adapt to spaces with bright direct light, where the sunlight streams inside directly. Avoid placing it in spaces with low light or spaces without natural sunlight to keep its characteristic vibrant colors intact.

Brushstroke of the Amazon ***** Native to the Amazonian jungles of South America, Rattlesnake Calathea wears an eccentric reptilian pattern on its leaves, with a plum underside and lush green brushstrokes on top. It belongs to the Marantaceae family, known as ‘Prayer Plants’, which much like humans and unlike most plants, have a wake-and-sleep cycle according to a circadian rhythm. This means its leaves move upwards during the night and downwards throughout the day in search of the sun.
