《箭羽竹芋》

Calathea lancifolia is commonly known as the Rattlesnake Plant due to its uniquely patterned leaves that resemble the skin of a rattlesnake. The leaves of Calathea lancifolia are long, narrow, and lance-shaped, typically growing up to 18 inches (45 cm) in length. The top surface of the leaves is light green with dark green, wavy, oval-shaped markings that run along the midrib, resembling the spots on a rattlesnake. The leaf margins are often wavy, adding texture to the plant’s overall appearance. The underside of the leaves is a rich purple or burgundy, providing a striking contrast to the lighter green upper surface.

Like other Calathea species, Calathea lancifolia exhibits nyctinasty, meaning its leaves move in response to the light cycle. The leaves tend to fold upwards at night, resembling praying hands, and open out during the day to catch the light.

Proper care helps extend the freshness and beauty of your flowers. Refer to the steps below for best results.

Unwrap & Prepare: Remove all packaging and allow the flowers to breathe. Keep them away from direct sunlight and heat.

Trim the Stems: Cut 1–2 cm off the stems at a 45° angle using clean scissors or a knife. This helps the flowers absorb water better.

Use Clean Water & Flower Food: Place flowers in a clean vase filled with fresh water. If flower food is provided, mix it according to the instructions. You can also purchase flower food to help your flowers last longer.

Change Water Regularly: Replace the water every 1–2 days. Rinse the vase and re-trim the stems each time to keep bacteria away.

Remove Wilted Parts: Remove any leaves below the waterline and discard wilted petals or flowers to maintain freshness.

Choose the Right Spot: Keep flowers in a cool, shaded area. Avoid direct sunlight, fans, air-conditioning vents, and ripening fruits.

Refresh When Needed: If flowers start to droop, re-trim the stems and change the water to revive them.

Each plant comes with simple care instructions. Follow guidance on watering, light exposure, temperature, and fertilising to help your plant grow healthy and strong.

Light: Thrives in bright indirect sunlight to partial sunlight. It can tolerate lower light conditions but may experience slower growth and less vibrant leaf colors. Avoid direct sunlight, which can cause the leaves to scorch and lose their distinctive patterns.

Soil: Use a well-draining, peat-based potting mix with added perlite or sand to improve aeration.

Water Requirement: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Use room-temperature water to avoid shocking the plant. Calathea plants are sensitive to chemicals in tap water, so using filtered or distilled water is recommended.

Temperature: Ideal growing temperatures are between 18℃ to 27℃. Keep it away from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.

Humidity: High humidity is essential for Calathea. Aim for a humidity level of 60% or higher. Dry air can cause the leaf edges to brown and curl.

Fertiliser: Fertilize lightly during growing season. Fertilise every 4 to 6 weeks during the growing season.

Caution: Regularly remove any yellowing or damaged leaves to maintain the plant’s appearance. Pruning is generally minimal, as Calathea does not grow very large.
