The Full Picture
The Peacock Plant is arguably the most beautiful Calathea, with leaves patterned like feathers. It is a Diva. It needs two things: High Humidity and RO Water. Tap water in Lucknow (hard water) will make the edges crisp and brown. It folds its leaves up at night (prayer movement). Keep away from AC drafts.
