Calathea Medallion
Calathea Medallion is a beautiful, tropical foliage plant with a bushy, upright growth habit. This attractive Calathea has large, oval-shaped leaves with a stunning feather-like pattern in various shades of green and cream on the upper side, and deep purple undersides and stems. As a typical Calathea, C. Medallion also earns the nickname 'living plant' because it closes or raises its leaves at night and unfurls or lowers them again in the morning. Calathea is originally an evergreen perennial from tropical regions of South America, where it grows in the shaded, moist underlayers of rainforests. It is a stylish and easy houseplant. Calathea Medallion is also known as the Peacock Plant, due to its unique, exotic leaf pattern. Evanthia has Calathea Medallion starting material available year-round, as young plants from tissue culture. Ask our team for the Calathea cultivation manual for commercial production.
