Calathea Roseopicta (Calathea Medallion)

Lush, luxurious, and effortlessly artistic — the Calathea Roseopicta, often known as the Calathea Medallion, is nature’s masterpiece of pattern and color. Native to the tropical rainforests of South America, this plant is celebrated for its richly detailed foliage, where deep emerald-green leaves are delicately brushed with shades of pink, white, and sometimes lavender — creating a living medallion of beauty and grace.

Each leaf is broad and glossy, with a mesmerizing design that looks hand-painted, while the underside reveals a velvety maroon tone that adds contrast and depth. True to its “Prayer Plant” family, the Calathea Roseopicta performs a quiet ritual every day — lowering its leaves during daylight and lifting them skyward at night, symbolizing calm and balance in any space it graces.

This tropical beauty thrives in bright, indirect light and high humidity, making it perfect for well-lit living rooms, bedrooms, and cozy corners. It also doubles as an effective natural air purifier, improving the quality of your indoor air while bringing serenity to your surroundings.

At Acacia, every Calathea Roseopicta is grown with care in our UAE greenhouses — nurtured to maintain its vivid pink veining, lush foliage, and radiant sheen. Each plant reflects the balance of nature’s artistry and Acacia’s dedication to perfection.
