Calathea insignis, also known as the Rattlesnake Plant, is a captivating tropical houseplant admired for its striking foliage. Its elongated, lance-shaped leaves boast a rich green background adorned with intricate stripes of pale silver or cream, reminiscent of the markings on a rattlesnake. The leaves exhibit a remarkable characteristic of folding upward at night and unfurling again during the day, adding to its allure. Calathea insignis thrives in bright, indirect light and requires consistently moist but not waterlogged soil. Its unique appearance and relatively easy care make it a popular choice for those seeking a visually stunning addition to their indoor garden.
