Pets: Pet-friendly β generally considered non-toxic to cats and dogs.
Light: Bright indirect light.
Care level: Moderate (2/3). Needs regular checks of moisture and growing conditions.
Non-toxic does not mean edible. Chewing any plant can upset a pet's stomach; keep plants and accessories out of reach. Care levels are Pink Llama's practical guidance, not a guarantee.
They call it the Peacock Plant for a reason. Calathea Makoyana's translucent, paper-thin leaves carry a feathered pattern of dark green ovals over soft mint β like peacock plumage rendered in foliage, with purple-flushed undersides.
Makoyana is a true prayer plant, folding her leaves each evening and unfurling at dawn. Give her medium indirect light, consistently moist soil (distilled water keeps edges crisp-free), and the humidity of a bathroom or kitchen. Pet-safe, mesmerizing, and endlessly photogenic. Available in 4" and 6" pots.
