Calathea makoyana known as Goeppertia is a must-have for plant enthusiasts, requiring adequate lighting. The Calathea makoyana plant is a houseplant from eastern Brazil, which belongs to the Marantaceae family.
It produces beautiful, very decorative leaves, ovate in shape, pale green above, with oblong spots and dark green lines along the side veins.
Calathea has a special characteristic: the leaves close when the amount of light decreases, the plant therefore has a day and night rhythm which has earned it the nickname "living plant" or praying plant.
