BENEFITS:

Calathea is a special, highly-decorative houseplant with colourful, variegated foliage.

Calathea is also special for another reason: it closes its leaves at night and opens them again in the morning! This is the reason why Calathea is also called the ‘living plant’. 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.

The calathea plant is a great indoor plant as it helps in purifying the air and provides fresh oxygen. It promotes a healthier environment by taking carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen for humans.

The plant not only purifies your nearby surroundings but also gives you a pleasant and charming look to your indoor setting.The calathea plant helps in removing the toxins present in the form of dust and thus you and your plant can breathe fresh air.

If you have dry skin issues and respiratory issues due to less humidity in the atmosphere, place a calathea plant in your room and it will add moisture inside your room.
