Goeppertia louisae 'Maui Queen' syn. Calathea louisae 'Maui Queen' (Prayer Plant)

Boasting beautiful patterned leaves, with lime green highlights spreading from the centre of the leaf, this Calathea makes a wonderful houseplant. Recent reclassification means that although this plant is known as a Calathea, its actual genus is Goeppertia! As it is a member of the prayer plant family, during the day the leaves lower and then rise at night, an adaptation that helps the plant absorb and reflect light.
