Calathea Rattlesnake Party Pack Information
About The Calathea Rattlesnake Party Pack
Celebrate in style with our Calathea Party Pack, featuring six Calathea 'Rattlesnake' full of color, texture, and natural movement. Easy to care for and endlessly eye-catching, they’re a meaningful way to celebrate, decorate, and gift green. Even better — they’re pet-friendly, making them a safe and stylish choice for households with curious pets.
Calatheas are tropical plants known for their bold, patterned leaves that raise and lower from day to night, a phenomenon called nyctinasty and the source behind their nickname prayer plant. They thrive in bright, indirect light but can tolerate moderate to low light conditions. Allow the top half of soil to dry between waterings and try to provide a humid environment to keep them extra happy.

Watering Requirements
Water every 1-2 weeks, allowing soil to dry out half way down between waterings. Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light. This plant can benefit from extra humidity. Calatheas can be sensitive to hard tap water. Try using filtered water or leaving water out overnight before using.
Sunlight Requirements
Thrives in medium to bright indirect light, but can tolerate low indirect light.
Humidity Requirements
Calatheas prefer higher humidity if possible, preferably above 40%. Consider incorporating a humidifier to boost humidity levels more consistently if the air in the home is dry.
Pet-Friendly Plant?
Yes, this plant is safe for homes with pets.
How often should I water a Calathea Rattlesnake plant?
Water your Calathea Rattlesnake when the top half of soil has dried out, which typically averages to once a week depending on your home's envionment. Allowing the plant to sit in stagnant water triggers root rot, while letting the soil completely dry out will cause the foliage to droop and brown.
Why are my Calathea Rattlesnake leaves curling or turning brown at the tips?
Brown, crispy edges or curling leaves on a Rattlesnake plant are almost always caused by dehydration, low humidity or tap water sensitivity.
Why do my Rattlesnake plant's leaves move up and down?
Your plant is exhibiting a natural phenomenon called nyctinasty! Calatheas possess a tiny joint-like mechanism called a pulvinus at the base of each leaf that reacts to light changes. During the day, the leaves drop down flat to maximize their surface area and absorb ambient sunlight. At night, they fold up vertically like hands caught in a prayer position, revealing the striking, deep purple undersides of the foliage.
What are the ideal light requirements for a Rattlesnake plant?
The Calathea Rattlesnake thrives in medium to bright, indirect sunlight. While it can tolerate lower light conditions, a dark corner may cause its spots to fade and drastically slow its growth.
Our planters are made from the highest quality materials, and designed to complement a range of styles.
