The leaf patterns resemble those of a rattlesnake.
Calathea lancifolia is known for its daily movements. The leaves open in the morning to capture light and close in the evening, like a prayer. This phenomenon, called nyctynasty, gives a lively feel and makes the marble leaf a fascinating addition.
Botanical description.
Calathea lancifolia comes from Brazil in the Rio de Janeiro region.
