Brushstroke Patterns and Nightly Leaf Movement

The Rattlesnake Plant (Calathea lancifolia / Goeppertia insignis) is a tropical foliage star with leaves that resemble hand-painted artwork. Long, narrow blades emerge pale green, then fill in with rows of dark green “spots” that resemble reptile markings, while the undersides glow a deep purple. Like other prayer plants, its foliage gently rises and falls throughout the day, adding a sense of quiet movement to shelves, plant stands, and side tables. It’s a plant you’ll find yourself looking at again and again—the pattern is that hypnotic.

Upright, Fountain-Like, and Gracefully Compact

Rattlesnake Plant grows as an upright, clump-forming perennial with leaves that arch outward from a central crown in a fountain-like shape. Indoors, most plants grow to around 18–30 inches tall and wide in a roomy pot, making it substantial enough to fill a corner without dominating the room. The slender leaves and wavy edges give it a lighter, more airy look than broad-leaved Calatheas, so it plays nicely alongside bigger tropicals and trailing vines. Over time, new shoots emerge from the base, thickening the clump into a lush, full specimen.

Filtered Light, Moist Soil, and High Humidity

In nature, this species grows on the rainforest floor of Brazil under a protective canopy, which reveals almost everything about its natural preferences. It thrives in medium to bright indirect light and also tolerates lower-light locations, as long as there’s enough ambient brightness to read by. Direct midday sun can scorch and fade the patterned leaves, so think filtered or dappled light rather than harsh rays.

The roots like consistently moist, well-drained soil—never bone dry, never swampy. Let the top inch of the potting mix dry slightly, then water thoroughly and allow excess to drain away. Calatheas can be sensitive to hard or heavily treated tap water, so filtered, distilled, or rainwater is often recommended to keep leaf edges looking better. High humidity is essential for this plant to thrive: aim for around 50–60% or higher with the help of grouping, pebble trays, or a humidifier.

Pet-Safe Tropical Texture Indoors

Think of Rattlesnake Plant as a designer pattern for your interior “landscape.” Indoors, it’s ideal as a mid-sized focal plant on a plant stand, in a decorative cachepot on the floor, or as the centerpiece of a plant cluster near an east or north window. Its narrow, wavy leaves add delicate texture and visual rhythm that play beautifully against round-leaved plants and trailing species.

One of its most significant advantages is that it’s considered non-toxic to cats and dogs, so it’s a fantastic choice for pet-friendly homes that still want dramatic foliage. In warm, frost-free climates, it can also spend summers outdoors in a shaded, humid spot, then come back inside once the nights cool down.

...awkward book to rate...
Format: Kindle
This is an awkward book to rate as: the facts all seem to be there, hut the presentation is a touch below par for a 'Captivating History' book. There is a light garnish of literary and grammatical errors, a dose of waffle here and there, the chronology can jump back and forth and - I may have been distracted, but: I do not recall reading about what ultimately happened to Haile Selassie Most of the final, extended, chapter just repeats what has previously been covered. STILL - it's a most interesting period in history.

A not often studied part of African history
Format: Kindle
This book presents the history of Ethiopia up to the Italian invasion as a backdrop giving the culture and the nature of the Ethiopian Empire. Ethiopia has a history of more than 3,000 years and converted to Christianity about the same time that the Roman Empire did. During the medieval period remained strong in Christianity and traded with the East as well as with medieval Europe. It was one of the most advanced countries in the world at that time. When Italy started trying to build up an empire and catch up because of its lag behind the rest of Europe in Empire building, Ethiopia was one of the last parts of Africa that was not yet a colony of a European power. Italy and made a failed attempt at conquering Ethiopia but when Mussolini took power in Italy he decided to rebuild the grandeur of Roman Empire. This book takes you through the war with Italy and tells it from the Ethiopian side as well as presenting some of the concepts of the Italian side as well. Hey you will also become acquainted with the major players on both sides of the Italian Ethiopian war. It is well researched and it describes the war, the struggle that both the Ethiopians and the Italians had during the war and the final conclusion and how the war ended. The book has been well researched and is very interesting. I found this to be an excellent book to explain the war in North Africa as well as the struggle for independence of the Ethiopians. This is a book that I would like to have had when I was teaching world history. I highly recommend this book and feel that it is a great addition to anyone's library.

A little-mentioned history
Format: Kindle
Captivating History has released a publication that tells of the period when Italy, under the government of Mussolini, invaded Ethiopia and overthrew the government of Haile Salassee. This war was revenge for Italy's loss against Ethiopia in 1896 but weakened Italy which helped its decision to align with Hitler. For Ethiopia, the invasion represented a major setback, as it lost its independence and became subject to Italian colonial rule until the defeat of Italy in World War II. Haile Selassie returned to Ethiopia in 1941 after the British, in alliance with Ethiopian resistance fighters, liberated the country. The Italian invasion of Ethiopia remains a significant event in African history, highlighting the consequences of colonial aggression and the limitations of international diplomacy in preventing such conflicts. It also played a role in shaping Ethiopia's determination to regain its sovereignty and become a symbol of African resistance against colonialism. This is a worthwhile read as it explores a little-known facet of African history.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This book is an excellent read! It provides a well-organized and concise summary of Ethiopia’s entire history, which is no small task given the country’s rich and complex past. The writing is consistent, informative, and historically accurate, making it easy to follow and deeply engaging. I especially appreciate how it also includes insights into Eritrea’s history, offering a broader understanding of the region. I highly recommend this book to anyone seeking a solid, accessible introduction to Ethiopian and Eritrean history. Captivating History did a fantastic job!

A compact history
Format: Paperback
Sometimes we want to take a historical subject that we know little about and get a brief gloss to learn enough to discover which parts of the subject we want to delve into at greater length. "History of Ethiopia" is exactly what we need to satisfy that desire. We get the entire history of the African nation, from the very ancient days up to this very year, 2022. naturally, we do not get many nuances. What we do get is the big picture. We know how the various periods in history fit together. From the Queen of Sheba to the nasty era of the Communist Derg, we get a little bit of everything. One irritation that I had was the coverage of the Ethiopian-Somalia war in the 1970s. The crucial role played by the Cuban army is committed entirely. On the other hand, the 1540 Portuguese expedition headed by Christopher da Gama is briefly but adequately covered. Save for the intervention of da Gama the kingdom might well have been lost. If you need a fast introduction to Ethiopia, this is a good place to begin. Captivating History, the maker, has dozens of similar books, often on specific, narrowly focuses topics.
