The mosaic Calathea has very special leaves where the veins form a mosaic-like network across the large green surface. The Calathea musaica originates from the tropical rainforests of Brazil, where it grows under the dense canopy of taller trees. This means it’s used to soft, indirect light and high humidity. What makes this plant truly unique are its leaves: thousands of tiny green lines create a fascinating network pattern. No two leaves are the same, giving the Calathea musaica a natural, almost artistic look. As a member of the Marantaceae family, it closes its leaves at night – a charming trait that earned it the nickname “living plant.” For additional information about this Calathea from Araflora, please refer to the product symbols below.
