The Rattlesnake Plant is a perfect houseplant for pattern lovers who like to decorate a bit on the wild side. Its bright green, wavy leaves are striped with alternating ovals of dark green and accented by a rich purple underside. The markings on each leaf purportedly resemble those found on some rattlesnakes, hence the common name for this plant. A beautiful accent plant for the home. Like other Calatheas, the Rattlesnake Plant will fold up its leaves in the evening and then return them to their normal position the next morning - giving a whole new meaning to the words "living plant".
