Calathea insignis, commonly known as the Rattlesnake Plant:

Light Conditions

• Indirect Light: Calathea insignis thrives in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate lower light conditions, but avoid direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves.
• Artificial Light: If natural light is insufficient, fluorescent or LED grow lights can be used to provide adequate lighting.

Water Requirements

• Consistent Moisture: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Use lukewarm, distilled, or rainwater if possible, as tap water can cause leaf spots due to mineral content.
• Watering Frequency: Water when the top inch of the soil feels dry, which may mean watering every 1-2 weeks depending on the environment.
