Calathea Rattlesnake and a 4 Inch Nursery Pot

Cultivated specifically for its dramatic upright foliage, this Calathea lancifolia ‘Rattlesnake’ arrives in a practical 4-inch nursery pot. Known botanically as Calathea lancifolia and widely referred to as the peacock or zebra plant, the specimen displays tall, oval-shaped leaves veined in rich dark green with distinct ripple patterns. True to specimens originating from tropical South and Central America, Africa, and the West Indies, the leaves naturally track daylight, shifting orientation as the sun moves across the sky.

This specimen is cultivated primarily for its colorful, structured canopy rather than blooms. The included 4-inch nursery sizing provides stable support while protecting the root system, allowing straightforward placement in any bright interior location.
