Calathea makoyana ~ 8"

Light: Calatheas prefer bright indirect light; extended exposure to direct sun can cause the leaves to bleach and burn. 

Water: Maintain moist soil; calatheas do not like to dry out very much. Allow top third of the soil to dry out a bit before watering again. High humidity is ideal.

Family: Marantaceae

Natural Habitat: tropical rainforests of South America, primarily Brazil
