Plant of the year 2023
The plant of the year in 2023 is the Calathea Rattlesnake, this tropical plant grows in the rainforests of Brazil. Its pointed long shaped leaves give the plant a beautiful reptilian look.
Why is the Calathea Rattlesnake chosen as plant of the year?
The Calathea Rattlesnake was chosen because of its beauty and popularity when it comes to indoor decoration, it is also popular because you don’t have to look after this plant as much as after other plants as it doesn’t need much water and a perfect temperature. The plant was chosen because its look gives humans a hopeful outlook and the feeling that a brighter future awaits us. ‘‘There’s something very special about this plant. It brings a lot of joy and positivity to your well-being’’ (Alfred Palomares, Vice president of merchandising and Resident Plant Dad)
I really like this plant but there are a lot of other interesting plants out there, which you need to know about.🌿
