The Calathea Medallion looks like a master artist painted every single leaf by hand — and honestly, nature might as well have. Calathea roseopicta 'Medallion' features large, rounded leaves with a dramatic dark green border, a soft silvery-green center, and a stunning rosy-pink feathered pattern that radiates from the midrib like a living medallion. Flip a leaf over and you'll find the undersides washed in deep burgundy-purple. It's one of the boldest and most immediately impressive Calatheas you can own — and it does its famous prayer plant fold every single evening without fail.
