Jungle Poetry – Calathea Insignis – Ø12cm – ↕50cm

The Jungle Poetry , better known as Calathea Insignis , is a fascinating houseplant that enhances any room with its elegant, wavy leaves and contrasting colors. Its narrow, lanceolate leaves are vibrant green with wavy dark stripes on the upper surface, while the underside glows a deep purple—a true eye-catcher that evokes the magic of the rainforest.

🌱 A touch of exoticism for your home
Native to the tropical rainforests of Brazil, the jungle poetry plant loves moist, shady spots and responds to changes in light with gentle leaf movements. This phenomenon, known as nyctinasty , causes it to open its leaves during the day and fold them slightly at night—as if sleeping.

💧 Easy-care & undemanding
Jungle Poetry is perfect for low-light indoor spaces, as it prefers shady or partially shaded locations. It requires evenly moist soil , but waterlogging should be avoided. High humidity ensures best growth—ideal for bathrooms or with occasional misting.

✨ Natural indoor climate & stylish decoration
In addition to its aesthetic beauty, this plant contributes to improving air quality and creating a calming atmosphere. Jungle Poetry is therefore a wonderful choice for living spaces, offices, or as a stylish addition to sideboards and shelves.
