Calathea warscewiczii
Calathea warscewiczii is a decorative, tropical foliage plant with a compact growth habit. C. warscewiczii is beautifully patterned with bright green and dark green. The elongated leaves have a matte finish and contrasting velvet purple undersides. As a typical Calathea, C. warscewiczii 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 warscewiczii is originally an evergreen perennial from tropical regions of Brazil, where it grows in the shaded, moist underlayers of rainforests.
