Calatheas, the prayer-plant showstoppers.
Prayer plants grown for painted, patterned leaves that fold up at night - orbifolia, medallion, rattlesnake, pinstripe ornata. Famously humidity-fussy but genuinely pet-safe. Sorted by difficulty, with notes on the crispy edges everyone fights. There are 13 in the catalog.
Pet-safe. Pet-safe: every Calathea (Marantaceae) is non-toxic to cats and dogs. Only the soil and fertiliser should be kept away from curious pets.
