Thorsen's Greenhouse Calathea Rattlesnake

Yes, the Calathea Rattlesnake is non-toxic to both cats and dogs. It is a safe, worry-free choice for households with curious pets.

This plant exhibits nyctinasty, meaning its leaves physically move in response to light cycles. You will notice the foliage shifting position throughout the day as it follows the available light, which is a normal and fascinating behavior for this species.

Like many houseplants, the Calathea Rattlesnake helps improve indoor air quality by absorbing common household toxins through its leaves and roots. While it won't replace an air purifier, it is a beneficial addition to your living space.

This plant prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid placing it in direct sun, which can scorch the leaves, or in deep shade, which will slow its growth and cause the vibrant patterns to fade.

No, the plant arrives in a standard 4-inch plastic grower's pot. You will need to repot it into a decorative container of your choice or place the grower's pot inside a cachepot.
