Originating from the rain forest floors of Eastern Brazil, the Calathea Makoyana, AKA Peacock Plant, loves indirect light, warmth and humidity which can be simply replicated through misting. A beautiful houseplant to bring into your home.

Origin
Native to Eastern Brazil
Positioning + Light Needs
Requires good levels of natural light but avoid any direct sunlight. I
t is wise to place your plant somewhere where it can be watered and misted with ease, but avoid positioning next to radiators or draughty windows or doors.
Watering
Soil needs to be kept moist so water weekly but never soak. Make sure to water less frequently in winter. N.B. If you can, avoid hard tap water; use instead filtered or rain water.
Misting
Calatheas enjoy humidity in their natural climate, so its a must to replicate this! A quick mist daily or alternatively you can seat the pot on a tray of pebbles with water inside. 
Feeding
Feed once every 2 weeks during the growing season from April – October with a diluted liquid feed. 
Re-potting
Every 2 years should be fine, Springtime is best.
Child / Pet Friendly
Absolutely!
Air Purifying
I am indeed, so popular in the the bedroom...ahem.
Look out for
Browning leaves: possibly needs greater humidity. 
Yellowing leaves: under watered, give it a drink but don't go crazy!

Plants: The stated height for any given plant is from the ground up, so will always include the nursery pot.
Plant & Planter Fit: To find a planter for your chosen plant, start with the corresponding size category, e.g. plant size S - go to Small (S) planters.  
Example 1
your chosen plant size states M | 60 | 21. This is a Medium size (M) with a height of 60cm and a nursery pot diameter of 21cm.
Go to Planters size category: Medium [21 - 29cm].
You will need a minimum planter opening diameter size of 22cm.
Example 2: your chosen plant has a nursery pot diameter of 29cm. Though this falls within our Medium range (21-29cm), you will need to look at 30cm + planters - taking you into the Large Planters category [30 - 39cm].
