The undersides of the foliage add another layer of colour with their rich burgundy-purple tones. Like other members of the prayer plant family, its leaves naturally move throughout the day in response to changing light levels. Its bold foliage makes it an excellent choice for adding colour and texture without needing flowers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePet-Friendliness:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg height=\"72\" width=\"76\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/5700\/2977\/files\/Pet_friendly_2_69cd9e14-84cb-4f0d-bd0a-54d90c092d84.jpg?v=1733000084\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis plant is pet friendly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize and Growth:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCalathea Insignis typically reaches approximately \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e2–3 feet tall and wide\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e indoors when mature.
