The Artificial Calathea Plant in Pot 110cm from Designer Plants is a hand-crafted botanical specimen that replicates the dramatic, broad leaf form and lush tropical character of the live Calathea — one of the most visually striking tropical foliage plants used in contemporary interior design. Constructed with LDPE foliage using integrated RealTex materials, the specimen captures the large, paddle-shaped leaf form, rich green colouring, and natural variation in leaf size and angle that characterise a well-established Calathea in its prime. At 110cm, this is a substantial floor-standing specimen that commands genuine presence in any residential or commercial interior.
The live Calathea is widely regarded as one of the most challenging indoor plants to maintain in Australian conditions — demanding high humidity, indirect light, distilled or rainwater, and consistent temperatures to prevent leaf curling, browning, and die-back. This artificial version delivers the same large-leaf visual impact permanently and without any of these care obligations.
The Calathea has a quality of botanical drama that few other indoor species can match — the large, broad leaves create a sense of lush, tropical abundance that transforms the character of any interior space. At 110cm, this specimen delivers that presence permanently, without the humidity demands and specialist care that makes the live Calathea one of the most challenging indoor plants in Australian conditions.

For specimens positioned near windows or under bright artificial lighting, a periodic application of Designer Plants UV Protection Spray will extend the vibrancy of the foliage over time.
Recommended for indoor use. RealTex materials are not UV rated and not suitable for outdoor exposure or direct sunlight. For outdoor botanical specimens, Designer Plants offers UVTex-certified outdoor plants for outdoor applications.
The live Calathea is widely regarded as one of the most demanding indoor plants in Australian conditions — requiring high humidity of 50% or more consistently, indirect light, distilled or rainwater, and temperatures above 16 degrees at all times. Without these conditions, it drops and curls leaves rapidly. The artificial version delivers the same visual impact permanently and without any of these requirements.

Calathea is a genus of tropical plants native to South America, valued in interior design for their large, dramatically patterned leaves and the sense of lush, tropical abundance they bring to any interior space. The Artificial Calathea Plant in Pot 110cm from Designer Plants replicates the distinctive broad-leaf form of the Calathea using RealTex materials — without the humidity requirements, specialist watering, and leaf-drop tendency that make live Calathea plants some of the most challenging indoor specimens to maintain in Australian conditions.
