Care Instructions

• A key consideration for any calathea plant is proper lighting, and the rattlesnake is no exception.
• If it gets too much direct sunlight, the vibrant spotted markings will begin to fade. Filtered light is the best option.
• If you want to have your rattlesnake plant in a window, select one that doesn't have intense afternoon sun streaming through it, or diffuse the light with drapes.
• Frequent small watering is required rather than deep irrigation. Ideal temperatures for this plant are around 60-75ºF
