Frequently Asked Questions
Find useful answers about Peacock Plant identification, propagation, and caring for its distinctive foliage.
Is Calathea Makoyana the same as the Peacock Plant?
Yes. Calathea makoyana is commonly known as the Peacock Plant because its rounded leaves have contrasting green markings that resemble feather patterns. Its currently accepted botanical name is generally Goeppertia makoyana. Confirm the scientific name when purchasing seeds to avoid confusion with other Calathea or Goeppertia species.
Can Calathea Makoyana be grown from seeds at home?
Growing Calathea Makoyana from seeds may be possible when genuine, viable seeds are available, but this plant is commonly propagated by division. Before sowing, confirm the seed identity, freshness, and recommended germination method with your supplier. Avoid relying on generic houseplant seed instructions or guaranteed germination timelines.
Why are my Peacock Plant leaves turning brown at the edges?
Brown leaf edges can result from low humidity, inconsistent watering, excessive direct sunlight, or stress caused by unsuitable water or growing conditions. Keep the growing medium evenly moist without waterlogging, provide bright indirect light, and maintain suitable humidity. Check the roots and drainage if browning continues, and adjust care gradually rather than making several changes at once.
