  •   Calathea Roseopicta 'Medallion', also called Medallion Prayer Plant, is a tropical foliage plant in the Marantaceae family, native to the rainforests of Brazil. It grows on the shaded forest floor, where filtered light, high humidity, and warm temperatures shape its needs as a houseplant.

      The leaves are broad and oval, reaching up to 12 inches long, with a pattern of deep forest green on the outer edges and a pale, silvery-green center that feathers outward in brushstroke-like bands. Underneath, each leaf is a deep magenta-red. The foliage folds upward in the evening and flattens again by morning, a movement pattern typical of prayer plants in the Marantaceae family.

      'Medallion' rarely blooms indoors, and when it does, the flowers are small, white to pale purple, and largely hidden beneath the foliage. The more consistent seasonal feature is leaf movement and color depth, which can intensify in response to indirect light conditions.

      Rotate it every few weeks so all sides receive even light from indirect sources. It purifies indoor air and filters formaldehyde and other toxins, and the broad leaves naturally release moisture into the surrounding air. Keep it away from heating vents and air conditioning units, as the dry airflow causes the leaf edges to brown and curl. It thrives in a bathroom, near a kitchen sink, inside a glass terrarium, or in any spot where ambient humidity stays consistently above 50 percent. This plant is pet friendly.

  •   Calathea Roseopicta 'Medallion' - 6" Pot - NURSERY POT ONLY grows best in bright indirect light, away from south-facing windows.

      Water it every 7-10 days, keeping the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged.

      'Medallion' does best in a well-draining, peat-based mix with added perlite for moisture control.

      It prefers temperatures between 65°F and 80°F, away from cold drafts or sudden temperature changes.

      'Medallion' is a slow to moderate grower; feed monthly in spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength.

      It is hardy in USDA zones 11-12, where frost does not occur and temperatures stay above 50°F. It grows outdoors year-round in Hawaii and southern Florida. It performs well as a patio plant in summer across California, Texas, and other warm-season states, moved back indoors before nighttime temperatures drop below 60°F.

    Q: Can 'Medallion' go in a terrarium?
    A: Yes, a closed or open terrarium with good airflow works well, as the enclosed space holds the high humidity it needs naturally.

    A: 'Medallion' yellows most often from overwatering, low humidity, or exposure to fluoride in tap water. Try switching to filtered or distilled water if the soil moisture and humidity levels seem fine.

    A: Yes, it is non-toxic to cats and dogs according to the ASPCA.

    🌿 For Houseplants
    When your package arrives, you may notice a bit of loose soil in the box. This is completely normal during shipping.
    Please remove your plants from their packaging as soon as possible and review the care instructions included with your order. Water based on your plant’s needs, making sure not to overwater.
    Houseplants may need a short adjustment period after arrival. Give your plant time to acclimate to its new space before placing it with other plants. You can gently clean the leaves if needed, and wait to fertilize until it has settled in. Always check soil moisture instead of watering on a fixed schedule.
    *** We pack carefully to protect each plant during transit, so larger orders may arrive in multiple packages.
