Description:
Calathea Peacock is a striking foliage plant admired for its beautifully patterned leaves that resemble the feathers of a peacock. Each leaf features light green tones with dark green markings and a soft purple underside, making it a true showstopper in any indoor space. Its elegant, decorative foliage adds texture and movement to shelves, tabletops, and indoor plant displays.

Known for its “prayer plant” behaviour, Calathea Peacock gently raises and lowers its leaves throughout the day, bringing a sense of life and calm into your home. While slightly more particular than some houseplants, it rewards proper care with lush, vibrant growth. Available for Sydney delivery and Australia-wide shipping, this plant is perfect for plant lovers who enjoy statement foliage.
