Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Medallion different from other prayer plants?
The Medallion features the largest, most impressive leaves in the Calathea family - true medallion-sized foliage with rich textured patterns and stunning magenta undersides. The scale and dramatic color contrast make it much more of a statement plant than smaller prayer plant varieties.
Why do the leaves fold up to show the magenta undersides?
This natural movement is called nyctinasty - the leaves fold upward each evening like praying hands, then unfurl each morning. With the Medallion, this creates a spectacular daily color show as the vibrant magenta undersides are revealed, providing endless entertainment and dramatic color changes.
How large do the leaves actually get?
Medallion leaves can reach 8-12 inches across when mature, making them some of the largest in the prayer plant family. The impressive size, combined with the rich patterns and magenta undersides, creates a truly spectacular display that commands attention in any room.
Is this plant safe around pets and children?
Absolutely! Calathea plants are completely non-toxic to cats, dogs, and humans, making them perfect worry-free choices for families who want to enjoy their stunning large medallion foliage and fascinating prayer movements safely throughout their home.
Why are my large leaves getting brown edges?
Brown edges on large leaves typically indicate low humidity, water quality issues, or inconsistent watering. The impressive size of Medallion leaves makes them more sensitive to these conditions. Increase humidity, use filtered water, and maintain consistent soil moisture for healthy, vibrant large leaves.
