Part of the prayer plant family, the stunning Calathea Medallion is arguably one of Mother Nature's most beautiful creations.

Stand on a wet pebble tray to improve humidity and mist frequently. Pop it in the shower room or kitchen from time to time to give an extra boost.
The brilliant, rose-colored pallet of Calathea roseopicta’s patterned foliage is hugely popular – but there’s a catch. Calatheas generally deserve their fussy reputation, and the lovely Roseopicta is one of the worst offenders. In this article, we’ll explain everything you need to know about Calathea roseopicta care, to keep your plant healthy and beautiful.
Calathea roseopicta is a member of the Prayer Plant family and naturally grows beneath the Brazilian rainforest canopy. Its broad tropical foliage has a feathery pattern of bright pinks and fuschias that looks hand-painted on the deep green leaves. The colored stripes tend to whiten with age.
The undersides of the leaves are a flashy red-purple – at night the plant folds up and becomes a burgundy display. The plant is evergreen, so you can enjoy its color year-round. It grows from a rhizome and has a clumping growth habit, and reaches about 20 inches high.
