Calathea makoyana, commonly known as the Peacock Plant, is one of the most striking and graceful members of the Marantaceae family. Native to the tropical rainforests of Brazil, it’s celebrated for its exquisite, feather-like foliage that showcases nature’s artistry in every leaf.

Each elliptical leaf features intricate light green and cream patterns with bold, dark green ovals radiating from the midrib, resembling the elegant plumage of a peacock — hence its name. The undersides are a rich purple-maroon, revealed each evening as the leaves gently fold upward in their characteristic “prayer” motion. Compact, elegant, and endlessly photogenic, Calathea makoyana brings a touch of the rainforest’s vibrancy and movement to any indoor setting.


Calathea makoyana – Care Guide

Light

Thrives in bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can fade the leaf patterns or scorch the edges, while too little light may dull the colours. East-facing windows or filtered daylight through sheer curtains are ideal. It can tolerate moderate light but avoid deep shade.

Watering

Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water when the top 2–3 cm feels slightly dry, using filtered or rainwater to prevent fluoride and chlorine damage, which can cause leaf browning. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely, especially during warm months. In winter, reduce watering slightly but maintain humidity.

Temperature and Humidity

Temperature: Prefers warmth between 18–28 °C and must be kept away from cold drafts or air-conditioning vents. Avoid temperatures below 15 °C.
Humidity: High humidity (60–80%) is essential. Mist regularly, use a humidifier, or group with other tropical plants to create a humid microclimate. Low humidity can lead to crispy leaf edges.

Soil and Potting

Use a light, moisture-retentive but well-draining mix — ideally compost combined with perlite and coco coir. This provides consistent moisture without compacting the roots. Repot every 1–2 years in spring to refresh the soil and support new growth.

Feeding

Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a diluted, balanced liquid fertiliser or one formulated for foliage plants. Avoid over-fertilising, as Calatheas are sensitive to salt build-up. Pause feeding in autumn and winter.

Pruning and Maintenance

Trim older or damaged leaves near the base to maintain shape and stimulate fresh growth. Wipe the leaves gently with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and accentuate their vibrant markings. Rotate occasionally for even light exposure and symmetrical growth.

Growth and Maturity

A moderately fast grower, Calathea makoyana typically reaches 40–60 cm in height and spread indoors. With good care, it forms a dense clump of lush, patterned foliage. Mature plants may produce small, white or purple flowers near the base, though these are secondary to its stunning leaves.

Common Issues

  • Brown leaf tips: Low humidity or hard tap water.

  • Faded patterns: Insufficient light.

  • Curling leaves: Underwatering or low humidity.

  • Pests: Occasionally susceptible to spider mites or thrips — treat with neem oil and maintain high humidity.


Background and Benefits

Native to the Brazilian rainforest floor, Calathea makoyana thrives in dappled light and humid air. It’s part of the “Prayer Plant” family, renowned for their rhythmic leaf movements — a natural adaptation to light cycles. Its botanical name honours Makoy, a 19th-century Belgian horticulturist known for cultivating tropical ornamentals.

In interiors, Calathea makoyana is prized for its air-purifying qualities and non-toxic nature, making it a perfect choice for households with pets or children. It symbolises new beginnings, vitality, and connection to nature — bringing a sense of calm, organic beauty to any home.

Styling Tip

Display Calathea makoyana where its delicate leaf patterns can be admired — such as on a console, desk, or side table in bright, filtered light. Pair with plants that have solid-coloured or contrasting foliage, such as Philodendron ‘Imperial Green’ or Ficus elastica ‘Shivereana’, to accentuate its ornate design. It thrives in humid rooms like bathrooms or kitchens and looks stunning in white or pastel ceramic planters that complement its graceful, patterned leaves.

About as indestructible as it gets. It's just very hard molded material. I always make sure to wash the dog toys before letting them play, who knows where they come from. Picture is after hours/days of the built playing with it

Old Faithful
Size: Large, Color: Wishbone, Size: Large, Color: Wishbone
AmStaf/Lab loves this product. I am still concerned about him ingesting the sharp little pieces he gnaws off, but he seems OK after three months of using these. Tried the Nylabone natural/wild products but they are not usable as a "chew" and disappear within minutes, nay seconds! -So here I am back to the "strong chew" wishbone product which makes my dog happy and keeps him busy not eating my shoes. (Be warned though, these are worse than Legos if accidentally stepped on!)

Perfect for small dog that likes to chew

Just got this today (small size for my 15 lb dog) and she loves it. Perfect size for her small mouth and teeth. Keeps her busy and even tires her out and rests a while, Between this type of dog toys and ones that squeak she is having a great time

Durable and Great for Teething!
Size: X-Large, Color: Textured Ring, Size: X-Large, Color: Textured Ring
This Nylabone Power Chew Textured Ring is a great find! It’s a pretty big ring, which is perfect because my puppy can grow into it. She already loves it and spends a good amount of time chewing on it. She’s a big teether, so I was specifically looking for something she could gnaw on that wasn’t plastic, and this has been so much better than the other things she tries to get her teeth into. It seems durable, keeps her occupied, and the price is great for the quality. I’ll definitely be buying another one when needed!
