Plant details
Meet the Peacock Plant
The Calathea makoyana, known as the Peacock Plant, is one of the most visually striking members of the Calathea family. Its large, oval leaves are adorned with an intricate pattern of dark green brushstrokes on a pale green background — mirroring the iridescent feathers of a peacock's tail. The undersides reveal a rich burgundy-purple hue, adding a dramatic contrast that makes this plant a true living work of art.
A Plant That Moves
Like all Calatheas, the Peacock Plant is a nyctinastic plant — its leaves gently fold upward at night and open again each morning, following the rhythm of the day. This mesmerizing movement makes it as captivating to watch as it is to display.
Care Highlights
- Light: Bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sun, which can fade the intricate leaf patterns.
- Water: Keep soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. Use filtered or distilled water to prevent tip burn from fluoride.
- Humidity: Thrives in 60%+ humidity. A pebble tray, humidifier, or bathroom placement works beautifully.
- Temperature: Prefers 65–80°F (18–27°C). Keep away from cold drafts and air conditioning vents.
- Soil: Well-draining, peat-based mix with good moisture retention.
- Fertilizer: Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer at half strength.
