Leopard Calathea
Goeppertia leopardina
The Leopard Calathea (Goeppertia leopardina, syn. Calathea leopardina) is a compact foliage plant in the Marantaceae family, prized for its glossy oval leaves marked with dark leopard-like blotches along the veins.

It is a popular indoor houseplant that thrives in bright, filtered light and high humidity.
Thai Beauty Calathea
Goeppertia louisae
Goeppertia louisae, commonly known as Thai Beauty Calathea, is a tropical houseplant native to the rainforests of southeastern Brazil. A member of the Marantaceae family, it captivates with its glossy, oblong leaves featuring brush-stroke patterns of creamy yellow or pale green against a deep green surface, with striking purple undersides.
