Calathea Rattlesnake

Calathea lancifolia, or Rattlesnake, is a perfect houseplant for pattern lovers who like to decorate wild. Its bright green, wavy leaves are striped with alternating ovals of dark green and accented by a rich purple underside. The plant gets its name from its lance-shaped foliage, and the leaves grow more elongated as the plant matures. Its bushy, compact growth habit makes it ideal as a medium-sized floor plant or tabletop accent -- anywhere that needs a little extra green and a tropical feel. 

Calatheas are tropical plants and thrive in a humid environment with indirect sunlight.  This plant doesn't like to be in completely dry soil, so make sure to water it before it dries out too much.
