Calathea Medallion: A Visual Masterpiece for Any Interior
The Calathea Medallion is more than a houseplant-it's a living piece of art. With its broad, oval leaves adorned in striking concentric rings of light and deep green, paired with rich purple undersides, this tropical beauty turns heads in any setting. Whether placed in your living room, workspace, or bedroom, its intricate foliage adds texture, elegance, and a vibrant pop of color.
A Plant That Moves With the Day
One of the most captivating traits of the Calathea Medallion is its nyctinastic leaf movement. The plant's leaves open during the day to soak in the light and gracefully fold at night, creating a rhythmic display that mimics the natural flow of the day. This subtle motion not only brings a dynamic element to your space but also offers a meditative sense of calm and connection to nature.
A Natural Air Purifier for a Healthier Home
Calathea Medallion isn't just a pretty face-it's a wellness powerhouse. Acting as a natural air purifier, it works to remove airborne toxins and pollutants from your indoor environment. Cleaner air can enhance concentration, reduce fatigue, and promote a more restful atmosphere, making it an ideal choice for homes and workspaces alike.
Sleep-Friendly & Bedroom-Approved
Looking for the perfect plant to keep in your bedroom? The Calathea Medallion fits the bill. Its oxygenating properties help support better air quality, which has been linked to improved sleep quality. The plant's natural daily rhythm may even help regulate your own circadian rhythm, promoting a more balanced and restorative sleep cycle.
A Plant with History and Symbolism
Legend has it that the phrase "turn over a new leaf" is inspired by the Calathea's nighttime leaf-folding behavior. It's a fitting symbol for new beginnings, mindfulness, and intentional living-making it a meaningful gift or personal addition to your wellness space.

Calathea Medallion - Calathea Roseopicta 'Medallion' Care Guide
Light
I like a lot of diffused light, but direct sunlight will cause the leaves to fade and lose my precious markings. Because I grow on the canopy floor, I can tolerate shade, but I grow much better with indirect light.
Water
I like my soil to be moist, but I am also susceptible to root rot, so don't let me sit in water. Think little and often as a watering policy.
Temperature
I prefer warm to high temperatures, ideally between 18-23°C but can cope with as low as 15°C. Please keep me away from draughts!
Feeding
Apply a weak dose of a nitrogen rich foliage fertiliser once or twice a month during the growing season.
Grooming
Wipe my leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust, so that I can breathe properly.
Care
High humidity levels are a must. Stand on a wet pebble tray to improve humidity and mist frequently. Pop it in the shower from time to time to give an extra boost.
