Calathea Medallion - Indoor Plant with Dynamic Foliage
The Calathea Medallion is a distinctive indoor plant known for its striking oval-shaped leaves. Each leaf displays a dark green upper surface adorned with light, silvery patterns radiating from the center, while the underside reveals a rich purple coloration. This plant exhibits nyctinastic movement, meaning its leaves naturally close at night and reopen in the morning, creating a dynamic presence in your indoor space.
Plant Specifications
This Calathea Medallion measures 40-50 cm in height and arrives in a 17 cm diameter pot. The plant's compact size makes it suitable for various indoor locations, from tabletops to floor displays. The combination of dark green, silver, and purple tones creates visual interest without requiring excessive space.
Light and Placement Requirements
Position your Calathea Medallion in an area with partial shade and filtered light. Direct sunlight can cause leaf damage, so avoid placing it near south-facing windows or in bright, unfiltered light. North or east-facing locations typically provide ideal lighting conditions. This plant thrives exclusively indoors and should not be exposed to outdoor elements.
Watering and Care
The Calathea Medallion requires consistently moist soil to maintain its foliage quality. Water the plant one to two times per week, adjusting frequency based on your home's humidity levels. The soil should remain slightly moist but never waterlogged. Ensure proper drainage to prevent root rot, and avoid allowing the plant to sit in standing water. Higher humidity environments may require less frequent watering, while drier conditions may necessitate more regular moisture.
Leaf Movement and Characteristics
The plant's leaves demonstrate a natural circadian rhythm, folding upward in the evening and unfurling again at dawn. This movement is a natural characteristic of prayer plants and adds a living, responsive quality to the plant. The oval leaf shape, combined with the contrasting colors and patterns, creates a focal point in any room.
