The Calathea 'Network' may not look like much from far away but close up it is a delight of pattern and texture. Bright green leaves, leathery in texture and crinkled in shape, showcase a pattern which almost looks digital (think the Matrix), raised on top of the leaf surface, as if they are embossed. 

Native to South America, growing under the canopy in the humid rainforests of Espírito Santo in Brazil, this is a low light tolerant plant, happiest when given warmth, humidity and consistency. Calatheas can be divas, so its best to not move them around a lot or place them in unstable temperatures. We also recommend using filtered, rain or dechlorinated water, as Calatheas are sensitive to the chemicals in our tap water. 

We love the Calathea 'Network', and think its the perfect plant to brighten up a shadier corner. If you're thinking of trying your hand at a prayer plant, this all-green stunner is a great one to start with.
