The wonder of nature: Discover the delicate beauty of Calathea makoyana!
Some plants are simply pure poetry — and the Calathea makoyana definitely belongs to that group! It's no wonder it's affectionately called "Peacock Basket Maranta," because its leaves are a work of art that recall the magnificent feathers of a peacock. If you're looking for a plant with [an especially artistic] pattern that radiates elegance and vibrancy, you've found your favorite.
Imagine delicate, almost translucent leaves. On the upper side a delicate pattern of dark green lines and oval spots unfolds on a light green background. Hold a leaf up to the light and the magic is revealed: the pattern seems to shine through and blends with the purplish-red markings of the underside. A fascinating play of light and color that takes your plant décor to a new level.

Calathea makoyana is more than just beautiful to look at — it lives with you! As a typical Prayer Plant it shows a fascinating rhythm.

Your Calathea makoyana: How to bring out its full splendor!
Congratulations on your new peacock beauty! Calatheas are considered demanding, but the makoyana is a wonderful beginner Calathea. With our tips you'll quickly learn to understand its needs, and it will reward you with beautiful leaves. Don't worry, you can do this!
- Location: Gentle light, please!
- Your makoyana loves bright light but without direct sunlight. Its delicate leaves can otherwise burn. A spot near a north- or east-facing window or a few meters away from a south-facing window is perfect. It will tell you if it's too dark by its patterns fading.
- Watering: The secret is soft, low-mineral water!
- This is the most important tip for happy Calatheas: They react sensitively to lime. Use filtered water, rainwater, or water you've left standing overnight. Keep the soil evenly moist, but never waterlogged. Check the top layer of soil with your finger: if it feels dry, it's time to water!
- Humidity: Tropical feel at home
- High humidity is the key to flawless leaves without brown edges. Mist it every few days with low-mineral water, place it near other plants, or set a bowl of water nearby. A spot in a bright bathroom would be like a permanent wellness holiday for it!
- Nutrients: A little energy boost
- Give it a liquid houseplant fertilizer at half strength about every four weeks from spring through autumn. That gives it the energy for new, magnificent growth. In winter it goes into a resting phase and doesn't need fertilizer.
Your mantra: Observe and enjoy! You'll quickly get a feel for your plant. The relationship with it and the joy of each new, artful leaf is the most beautiful reward.
