Calathea
Calathea s genera Marantha and Stromanthes belong to the group of tropical praying plants , which in the evening begin to straighten their leaves and resemble hands folded in prayer. Kalateas are distinguished from other praying mantises by the fact that their leaves grow curled in a cone. Each leaf is like a work of painting – fine lines and rich shades of green, purple and white create stunning contrasts.
