A Vibrant Addition to Your Indoor Garden

How to Care for Your Rattlesnake Calathea

  • Light: Prefers medium to bright, indirect light; avoid direct sun to prevent leaf burn.
  • Water: Maintain consistently moist soil, allowing the top inch to slightly dry before watering again. Use filtered or distilled water to prevent sensitivity to hard minerals.
  • Temperature: Thrives in 65-80°F (18-27°C); avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
  • Humidity: Requires 50-70% humidity; mist occasionally or use a pebble tray/humidifier.
  • Soil: Prefers a peat-based, well-draining mix with slight acidity (pH 5.5-6.5).
  • Fertilizer: Feed bi-weekly during spring and summer with a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer (e.g., 10-10-10 or 20-20-20).
  • Pruning: Remove brown or yellowing leaves as needed.
  • Propagation: Best propagated through root division during repotting.

📌 Pro Tip: This plant benefits from bottom watering, which prevents mineral buildup and promotes deep root hydration. Read our Calathea Care Guide for expert watering techniques!

Fascinating Feature: A Plant That Moves!

The Rattlesnake Calathea belongs to the Marantaceae family, commonly called Prayer Plants due to their nyctinastic movement—a daily rhythm in which their leaves rise in the morning and fold upwards at night, resembling praying hands. This natural movement, responding to light, makes it a truly interactive and engaging houseplant.

Very firm and durable
Color: Cool Grey, Size: 24x24x12 inch
worked great for husbands surgery recovery. Very affordable, firmness was great, looked nice on the bed and also used it for the grandkids when they were watching a movie. Moved around with ease. Didn't use it to sleep with all night though. He could only make it half the night but that wasn't the pillows fault. It was the cast on his arm. Definitely did its purpose after surgery and the need to sit up in bed more. highly recommend

Perfect. I used it when I was recovering from hip surgery. Relieved a lot of pain in my hip and knee at a time when I needed relief.

Comfortable, firm, great for positional sleep therapy
Color: Cool Grey, Size: 24x24x12 inch
This is just what I needed to breathe better in my sleep, my doctor recommended a pillow like this for sleep apnea symptoms. I have an upcoming surgery too, so i'm glad I was able to test it out a week prior and see how it can help me prop up in bed. Feeling better about my upcoming recovery knowing i'll have this great pillow to support me!

Literally perfect and exactly what I needed!
Color: Cool Grey, Size: 24x24x12 inch
I can't recommend this enough! It was exactly what i was looking for! I have an annoying habit of researching everything for months before I purchase something that will get used this often. I finally decided on this one and I was very pleasantly surprised. I needed a wedge pillow to put at my back while sitting in bed. Mostly for when I'm working on my laptop. This one was the perfect height and perfect fit for me.I'm a female that is 5'4 and weigh about 117pds. I wanted something firm enough to support my back, and this most certainly does! It had a very pleasant appearance with the light gray sides. It has a removable cover I can take off and wash when needed. It's portable enough to move from room to room, also works great on my couch and it has amazing versatility. It can also be used as a pillow for someone that might need to sleep at a slight incline. It also works if you need to prop your legs up. It came vacuum packed. Once opened It said to let is sit for at least 24-48 hrs to give it time to properly inflate. For me, It plumped right up immediately! Again, from someone that does her research, if your looking for something like this at a reasonable price, this is it!

It was worth every cent
Color: Cool Grey, Size: 24x24x12 inch
I have BPPV. It's a condition where tiny ear crystals come out of place and move within your ear canals - this fools your brain into thinking you're in motion, causing severe dizziness. The most common treatment is the Epley Maneuver, and that actually helps a lot. However, I was going through a period where every single day I'd wake up with severe dizziness. Even if I managed to do the Epley Maneuver and it worked, the entire rest of the day would be ruined because I'd still feel generally unwell and nauseous. I ended up getting a book about BPPV and the author strongly recommended sleeping at at least a 30 degree angle. So, that's why I ended up buying this wedge pillow... I started using it April 26 and today is May 17. Since I began using it as a pillow, I have not woke up dizzy again. That is so huge! It may be that sleeping at a 30 degree angle deserves 5 Stars but thought I'd give this pillow 5 Stars too, as it's been a great experience. If you suffer from this, here's how the angle should be...If you lay your head on a pillow and open your eyes, you should not be looking at the ceiling. With the right angle, you should be looking at where the wall meets the ceiling. If so, you know you're at the right angle. As far as pillow itself, I'd say the pillow case fabric is of average quality. Not really remarkable in any way. It seems decent. Good value for the price. The inside is firm (which is just what I needed) but comfortable, and I tend to not move around much the entire night. I like this very much and if it does start wearing out, I'll definitely come back here and buy another. Would recommend.
