Calathea Orbifolia

Calatheas are commonly known as prayer plants, because their leaves fold together at night, like praying hands. Calathea Orbifolia grows natively in Bolivia, where it basks in humidity and dappled light. They have large, round leaves striped with dark green and silvery bands, definitely a classic statement plant. Calatheas love humidity, so group them together with other plants, or place them near a humidifier to replicate the conditions of a rainforest.

Get it on its own, or styled in Grey Dove.
