Calathea Burle Marx, or Fishbone Prayer Plant, named after a Brazilian artist and landscape architect, is yet another stunning exotic plant from the Calathea family. This tropical beauty has artistic deep green fishbone patterns on light green oval-shaped leaves, making it an eye-catching element in your decor.

Burle Marx can grow up to 20 inches in height and 16 inches in width, and its foliage will stand out and gets fuller as the plant matures. This easy-care plant is also great at purifying the indoor air and removing air pollutants.

Calathea Burle Marx produces long stalks with clusters of small white flowers. These flowers usually bloom in winter or early spring.

Calathea Burle Marx is considered a lucky plant in feng shui due to its vibrant, lush foliage, which symbolizes prosperity and abundance. Its elegant, wavy leaves can help create a calming environment, promoting positive energy flow and enhancing the overall ambiance of a space. Additionally, the plant's ability to thrive indoors aligns with the feng shui principle of bringing nature inside, fostering harmony and balance in home or office settings.
Calathea Burle Marx tolerates different lighting conditions, including low-light spots. Its ideal lighting is bright, indirect light but it can also grow under fluorescent lights. Avoid harsh direct sunlight to prevent sunburn.

This plant needs regular watering about once or twice a week to keep its soil slightly moist. Watering should be more frequent during spring and summer (3 times per week) and should be reduced in the winter (once every 5-6 days or when the topsoil is dry to the touch).

Fishbone Prayer Plant needs well-drained, nutrient-rich soils that are able to retain some moisture. Choose a peat-rich potting mixture.

This plant thrives in temperatures of 65°F-75°F and grow well in normal room conditions. It does not tolerate freezing temperatures.

This houseplant should be fertilized once per month during the growing season (spring/summer) with a diluted houseplant fertilizer.

This Calathea plant is considered non-toxic and safe for pets.

Provide porous soil with adequate drainage, pots with drainage hole are recommended. Bright, filtered light and ample airflow. Water thoroughly when soil is dry to the touch. Never let your succulents sit in water. Do NOT water on the leaves. If you water from beneath by letting the plant sit in a saucer of water, make sure to pour off any excess water after a few minutes. The hotter it is outside, the faster your soil will dry out, so you’ll need to water more often if you live in a hot area. Water with caution in winter, as the plant can lose its roots if the soil stays cold and wet for extended periods; protect from frost to prevent scarring.
