Calathea 'Cobra' is a gorgeous variety with dark green leaves that have a white-feathered pattern on the outer edges and deep burgundy undersides. The Cobra develops pink flowers that last for over 3 months. Calatheas are popular house plants because of their variegated leaves and vivid colours. Like other members of the marantaceae family, Calathea raises their leaves in the morning and lowers them at night, giving them the common name, the “prayer plant”.
