Calathea
As far as we’re concerned, the Amazon rainforest is one of the wonders of the natural world, right up there with the Great Barrier Reef and the Grand Canyon—and Calatheas are a beautiful example of why. Native to the Amazon and more than 150 species deep, this genus is packed with living, chlorophyll-filled works of art—many of which, fortunately for us, are ideally suited to share their beauty in our own little houseplant jungles.
The Calathea Family - beautiful tropical plants for indoors and outdoors
With nicknames like “Rattlesnake Plant”, “Pinstripe Plant”, and “Cathedral Windows”, it’s likely obvious that Calatheas are known for their showy foliage. And for good reason. While no two Calathea species are quite the same, most every one features large, glossy leaves with rich purple undersides and topsides variegated with patterns that would make a silhouette artist green with envy. Calatheas don’t have the height and bulk of other plants—most top out at two feet high and an equal width—but for sheer awe per square inch, they’re tough to beat.
