More About the Calathea Fishbone

Calathea fishbone gets its name from the pattern on its leaves resembling fishbones! It is also known as the Peacock plant for this patten too.

With its stunning appearance and beautiful leaves this is certainly a plant that will get your attention. Hailing from the tropical rainforests of the Amazon, its glossy leaves with deep maroon coloured undersides are really pleasing on the eye.

Calathea Burle Marxii is relatively easy to care for, however, it does require high humidity levels. It requires moist soil but it should not be overwatered or left to stand in water - these conditions can lead to root rot.

In addition to its stunning looks, the peacock plant offers air-purifying qualities, which are ideal for homes with people who suffer allergies or live in areas where pollution levels are high, it actively removes volatile organic compounds from the air making the air safer and better for your health.

If you are looking for a plant that oozes tropical vibes, this has to be a contender!
