Calatheas (prayer plants) are some of my favorite houseplants! They are a little challenging but i feel I've figured out a good system. They do best under growlights from my experience and they are next to a humidifier. Here are some pictures. I am just coming out of winter so they don't look the best, but they are beginning to put out new leaves!
