Pot with Calathea flower - features and application

Calathea in a round pots - for us, this is an indoor flower. Belongs to the genus of neotropical rhizome herbaceous perennial plants; whose members are usually called calathea. "Prayer plant" is a colloquial term for members of the genus Maranta, with which the genus Calathea is closely related. In fact, they are all considered "prayer plants".

Calathea leaves are used in the tropics (mainly in Brazil) for handicrafts and food packaging. Due to the variety of leaf shapes, baskets are intertwined from lanceolate leaves, and food is wrapped in wider leaves. The color-coded leaves of most Calatheas make them important as houseplants and are growing in popularity. Calathea veitchiana "Medallion" (Medallion calathea), Calathea lancifolia (Rattlesnake calathea) and Calathea ornata (Pinstripe calathea) are some of the most popular species.

Why do many people want to buy Calathea?

Simply put, the Marantaceae have been nicknamed the "Prayer Plants" family due to the daily movements of the plant leaves known as nyctinastia. Various plants in this family raise their leaves at night and lower their leaves during the day in accordance with a circadian rhythm. They move their leaves by altering the water pressure in their pulvinas, the swollen nodes at the base of the leaf along the stem (petiole) of the leaf. These movements are thought to follow the movement of the sun across the sky to maximize light absorption.
