Calathea Burle Marxii Kokedama
Bring lush, tropical elegance into your home with the Calathea Burle Marxii Kokedama, also known as the Fishbone Prayer Plant. Native to the rainforests of Brazil, this plant is named after the renowned landscape architect Roberto Burle Marx, who adored tropical foliage for its bold patterns and natural rhythm.
The Burle Marxii is instantly recognizable for its fishbone-patterned leaves—deep green tops streaked with feathery, lighter green veins and soft purple undersides. True to its “prayer plant” family, the leaves gently rise and fold in response to the light, adding movement and life to your space throughout the day.
Hand-wrapped in vibrant green moss, this kokedama is generously sized at approximately 6–7 inches in diameter, making it an XL statement piece that’s perfect as a centerpiece on a table, shelf, or display surface.

Care Instructions:
-
Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light but tolerates medium light. Avoid direct sun, which can fade its striking patterns.
-
Watering: Keep the moss ball evenly moist. You can soak the entire moss ball in water until fully saturated, or pour 1–2 inches of water into your kokedama dish for easy watering. For best results, use distilled or filtered water, as Calatheas are sensitive to the minerals and chemicals in tap water.
-
Humidity: Calatheas love high humidity—mist often, place near a humidifier, or enjoy in a bathroom or kitchen.
-
Bonus Tip: Known for its sensitivity, Burle Marxii appreciates consistency. Avoid letting it dry out completely or exposing it to drafts for best results.
Each kokedama is handmade and one-of-a-kind, turning the natural beauty of the Calathea Burle Marxii into a captivating living sculpture.
