Calathea insignis, also called Goeppertia insignis Rattlesnake plant native to Rio de Janeiro Brazi

Goeppertia insignis, the rattlesnake plant, is a species of flowering plant in the Marantaceae family, native to Rio de Janeiro state in Brazil. It is an evergreen perennial, growing to 60–75 cm, with slender pale green leaves to 45 cm, heavily marked above with dark blotches, purple below. Calathea insignis, also called Rattlesnake plant, has tapering, narrow, erect foliage, yellow green with lateral ovals, alternately large and small, with maroon underside. Zebra plant is a special, highly-decorative houseplant with colourful, variegated foliage. It is a houseplant that really purifies the air, so it is a true eye-catcher in every interior that also makes a contribution to a better and healthier indoor climate. Calathea is also called the living plant because it closes its leaves at night and opens them again in the morning. The plant owes this ability to a small joint between the leaf and stem. Light moves the joints and, as a result, Calathea s leaves open and close - which is sometimes accompanied by a rustling sound.
