- The included Houseplant Soil Mix is a lightweight, nutrient-rich blend of materials for moisture retention, combined with perlite and coarse sand for excellent drainage and aeration. Its balanced pH and natural amendments, such as coarse peat and perlite create the ideal environment for healthy roots while mimicking the plant's native habitat, ensuring quick water flow to prevent overwatering.
- Light Requirements: The Rattlesnake Calathea thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight as it may scorch its delicate leaves. Low light conditions can cause slower growth and fading of its vibrant leaf patterns, so it's best to place it in a well-lit area that doesn’t receive direct sun exposure.
- Watering Frequency: Water your Calathea regularly, ensuring the top layer of soil dries out before the next watering. It’s best to keep the soil consistently moist, but not soggy, as this plant enjoys a humid environment. Allow excess water to drain away, as stagnant water can cause root rot.
- Physical Characteristics: The Rattlesnake Calathea is a stunning tropical plant, known for its elongated, lance-shaped leaves with a unique pattern of dark green and light green stripes. The wavy edges of the leaves further add to its striking appearance. Its compact, upright growth habit makes it an excellent choice for tabletop displays or as part of a larger plant collection.
- Temperature and Humidity: Calatheas prefer temperatures between 65°F and 80°F (18°C to 27°C) and require moderate to high humidity. If your home has dry air, consider placing the plant near a humidifier, or group it with other plants to create a humid microenvironment.

Testimonials





Natalie"Came in perfect condition--thank you!"
Matthew"Amazing Plants! I was so happy to see these way larger than the plants pictured because I know how slow most cycads grow."
Nathaniel"This is the first time I've ever ordered plants online, so I had no idea what to expect. When I saw the description of 'comes in a 4" growers' pot' I figured I'd be getting some fairly small plants--nope! The bamboo palms were fully 2' tall from root to top leaf, and perfectly healthy. All 5 plants were VERY well secured in their box, to the point that the bottom layer was even spray-foamed to the cardboard! I couldn't ask for a better experience and I'm so excited to see these plants grow. Five stars!"
Trisha"Thrilled with my purchase! This seller went above any beyond! The packaging was very careful, the plants are so much bigger than I expected, and I was given more than what was depicted in the item description. 10/10 all round!"
R"This is SO BEAUTIFUL! Packaging was perfect and efficient, plant was in excellent condition. I'm in love with this plant and I will definitely order more."
