Calathea Orbifolia is a houseplant that stands out for its lush green foliage. The leaves are pale green with distinctive silvery-green stripes and can grow up to 16 inches long. These round, slightly wavy-edged leaves give the plant its name, “orbifolia,” which comes from the Latin words “orbis” meaning round and “folia” meaning leaf. The leaves of Calathea Orbifolia move throughout the day and curl up at night, a characteristic characteristic of the prayer plant group.
