Also known as the Rattlesnake Plant, Calathea Lancifolia is pure personality. Admired for its long, wavy leaves green leaves are painted with darker spots on top and a rich purple underneath. Their leaves move up at night and back down in the day like they have their own rhythm. This plant feels more like a living artwork than a background plant.

A few house rules...

Calatheas love gentle, indirect light. Too much sun will bleach out their pattern, so think dappled light or a bright room where the sun doesn’t hit them directly. They can also be a good option for shadier corners that still get some ambient brightness.

Keep the soil lightly moist, never bone-dry
• Use filtered or rainwater if possible, they can be fussy with tap water
• Mist occasionally or place near a humidifier
• Cut back slightly in winter when growth slows

Moderate grower indoors
• Reaches around 60 to 75 cm tall
• Pet safe
• Known for nyctinasty ( its leaves rise and fall with the light cycle )

I haven’t seen such a nice plant shop in London for quite some time. I love the variety here and people in the shop are really friendly. (Verified Google Review)

Plant Warehouse is a gem! The staff is always cool and super helpful. I bought a Venus flytrap there and it's thriving-really healthy and well cared for. (Verified Google Review)

Huge range of plants, rare to common for a good price. (Verified Google Review)

Visited the store a few times and my experiences were top notch. The visuals, ambience, and customer service exceed my expectations. New plants every week and I can't help myself buying a few on my way out every time. (Verified Google Review)

Lovely store that is worth the travel! The plants all look well taken care off and are reasonably priced. The person at the register was lovely and we had a lovely conversation as they rung up our cactus and the string of hearts (Verified Google Review)
