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. 

Rattlesnake Calathea Light Needs

Put it on a dining sideboard for elegant room flair

On your Rattlesnake Calathea’s first few days at home, avoid moving the pot around once you choose its placement and allow it to adjust to a stable environment. To help it grow optimally and evenly, occasionally dust the leaves and rotate the pot by a ¼ turn once a month. You may prune old leaves to assist the new growth.

Rattlesnake Calathea Plant Care

Rattlesnake Calathea is non-toxic and safe for humans and animals alike. If the plant is ingested in large quantities, it may lead to an upset stomach or very mild irritation, but it will not cause any serious complications. It is important to keep the plant out of reach of children and pets, just in case. 


Is Rattlesnake Calathea poisonous?

Rattlesnake calatheas should be placed in a location away from direct sunlight, preferably one that gets indirect light. You'll want to avoid very cold temperatures and hot drafts, as the plant can easily become distressed in such conditions. East-facing windows are ideal for this plant; if you keep it indoors, rotate the pot monthly to allow even growing. 


Where do you place a Calathea rattlesnake?

No, misting Rattlesnake Calathea is not recommended, as it can lead to fungal issues and attract pests. Instead, consider alternative methods to provide the necessary humidity. Start by placing your plant in a room with naturally high humidity levels, such as a kitchen or a bathroom. Additionally, grouping your plant with other plants can create a more humid microenvironment. Another effective approach is to use a humidifier or place the plant on top of a pebble tray with water to maintain the desired humidity.

Should you mist Rattlesnake Calathea?

Taking care of a Calathea Rattlesnake is easy. Keep its soil evenly moist, avoid midday or afternoon direct sunlight, and maintain warm temperatures and high humidity levels. 

Additionally, occasionally dust the leaves and rotate the pot monthly for optimal growth. With an easyplant self-watering pot, you can be sure to provide your plant with sufficient water without worrying about watering frequency.


How do you take care of a Calathea rattlesnake?

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.
