Calathea Maui Queen

Calathea ‘Maui Queen’, a member of the Calathea genus in the Marantaceae (Prayer Plant) family, is a stunning and relatively rare tropical houseplant admired for its elegant, patterned foliage. Its elongated green leaves feature soft, feathery brushstroke markings in lighter green tones, creating a refined and calming look that complements a variety of indoor spaces. Known for its graceful movement and decorative appeal, this prayer plant variety adds texture and sophistication to shelves, tabletops, and plant collections.

Calathea ‘Maui Queen’ thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers consistently moist, well-draining soil. Water when the top inch of soil begins to dry, using filtered or distilled water when possible, as calatheas can be sensitive to minerals. This plant enjoys higher humidity and does best in environments like bathrooms or near a humidifier. With proper care, it will maintain its vibrant foliage and may gently raise and lower its leaves in response to light throughout the day.

Note: Calathea ‘Maui Queen’ is considered non-toxic to pets, making it a safe choice for homes with cats and dogs.
