Calathea Medallion

Lush. Regal. Unmistakable. The Calathea Medallion (Calathea veitchiana ‘Medallion’) is one of the most iconic and eye-catching varieties in the prayer plant family. Its broad, round leaves feature vibrant green feathered patterns on the top and rich deep purple undersides, giving the illusion of hand-painted foliage. It’s nature’s version of luxury wallpaper.

As a classic low-light indoor plant, the Calathea Medallion thrives in bright indirect or medium light with regular watering and humidity. Its leaves gently fold upward at night and open again during the day—adding movement and a touch of tropical rhythm to your space. With bold color, elegant form, and pet-safe credentials, it’s a standout choice for stylish homes, plant collections, or thoughtful gifts.
