calathea bicajoux

Also known as: Bicajoux Prayer Plant, Bicajoux Calathea

Native to the tropical rainforests of South America, Calathea Bicajoux is one of the newest and most eye-catching varieties in the Calathea family. Its large, oval leaves feature a soft light green base with a bold, feathery dark green pattern running up the center — and like all prayer plants, its leaves open wide during the day and gently fold up at night. Air-purifying, and full of personality, it's one of the most rewarding tropical plants you can have indoors.
