House Plant Dropship Calathea Makoyana

This is a natural behavior known as nyctinasty. The plant adjusts its leaf position in response to light cycles, folding up at night and opening during the day to maximize light absorption.

The Calathea Makoyana can be a bit particular. It thrives in consistent humidity and indirect light, so it is best suited for someone who is comfortable monitoring soil moisture and environmental conditions.

It prefers bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight will scorch the delicate patterned leaves, while too little light may cause the plant to lose its vibrant markings.

No, the plant arrives in a standard 4-inch nursery container. You will need to repot it or place the nursery pot inside a decorative planter of your choice.

Keep the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly before watering again, and always ensure your pot has proper drainage to prevent root rot.
