Prized for their ornate foliage patterns and colors and related to prayer plants (marantas), Calatheas bring stunning beauty to home decor as tropical houseplants. Calathea makoyana (peacock plant) is a pet-safe houseplant that desires medium to bright, indirect light, and tolerates low light. Being tropical plants they prefer temps in the range of 65 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit. Avoid placing your calatheas next to drafty doors or windows during cold weather. To better mimic the humidity of their native habitat, consider using a humidifier or plant mister filled with filtered water or a pebble tray. You can feed them with a general houseplant fertilizer during the growing season.
