Long, lance-shaped leaves with a wavy edge, each one marked down its length with alternating dark ovals and lined in deep burgundy underneath. The rattlesnake plant lifts its leaves through the evening and lowers them by morning, so those undersides come and go. Bright indirect light suits it, and so does a humid bathroom or bedroom.

Good to know:

Light: bright but indirect, direct sun bleaches the markings
Water: keep the soil evenly moist, rain or filtered water if you can
Humidity: the higher the better, so a Brisbane summer suits it
Habit: upright and clumping
Safe around cats and dogs

Non-toxic foliage makes it an easy call for a home with an animal, so it sits with our pet-friendly plants. The other leaf pattern in the genus is over in calathea plants, with more foliage across our living plant gifts.

Add-ons: choose a pot, giftware or a greeting card on this page before you check out.

Please note: every plant is a living thing, so leaf count, height and shape vary a little from the photo.
