Calathea “Peacock”

Calathea Peacock plant, or Calathea veitchiana “Medallion”, is a small, strikingly beautiful herbaceous plant species from the forest floors of Ecuador. The patterned leaves are held on slender stalks and have a deep maroon undersides.
There are many species of Calathea (although some have been recently reclassified as Goeppertia) and almost all of them have strikingly patterned foliage. It is thought that in the dappled light of the forest floor, the patterns help camouflage the plants to make them harder to see by plant-eating animals.

All our potted plants come in compostable coir pots.
