Calathea & Maranta: tropical plants with graphic foliage

Our Calathea and Maranta are tropical plants especially valued for their decorative foliage. Their leaves often feature unique patterns, blending different shades of green, sometimes highlighted with red or purple veins. These plants instantly bring an exotic and refined touch to any interior.

Indoor plants with spectacular foliage

Calathea and Maranta are often called "prayer plants" because their leaves fold up slightly in the evening before opening out again in the morning. This natural movement fascinates many plant lovers and adds to the unique charm of these tropical species.

Thanks to their generally compact size, these plants are ideal for decorating a shelf, coffee table, or piece of furniture. They can also be paired with other graphic plants like those from the Pilea or Peperomia collections.

Create an urban jungle atmosphere with Calathea and Maranta

Calathea and Maranta are perfect for creating dense, elegant plant decor. Their contrasting foliage pairs especially well with plants of different shapes, such as those from the Hanging & trailing plants collection or some small indoor plants.

By combining several varieties, you can create a true jungle corner in a living room, bedroom, or office.
