The calathea genus is sometimes referred to as peacock plants, it is Calathea makoyana that fits this common name the best because the eye-catching patterns on the broad leaves resemble peacock feathers. The foliage patterns of this tropical houseplant come in a variety of hues including green, cream, pink, white, and gray. The stems are always a reddish-maroon shade, and the undersides of the leaves are dark purple. Choose a location in the shade or with filtered light. Water it just enough to keep it consistently moist.
