This listing includes 2 exact Calathea Rattlesnake live plants in 4-inch pots. You will receive the specific plants pictured rather than representative specimens. Because these are living plants, they may gain or lose leaves between the time the listing photos are taken and shipment.
Calathea Rattlesnake, botanically known as Goeppertia insignis, is an ornamental tropical foliage plant recognized for its long, wavy leaves with distinctive dark green markings and contrasting undersides. Its upright, clumping growth habit makes it well suited to indoor containers and tropical foliage collections.
The plants will be shipped in their 4-inch pots and carefully wrapped for transit. Avoid unnecessarily removing or disturbing the plants from their pots immediately after arrival. The supplied 2-inch-pot and bare-root shipping notice conflicts with the specific 4-inch potted exact-plant information, so it has not been applied to this listing.
Plant Condition Disclosure:
Live plants may be shipped dormant, leafless, recently pruned, bare root, or partially defoliated depending on season, weather, and shipping requirements.
Natural variation in size, branching, foliage density, color, root structure, and overall appearance should be expected.
Important Note:
You will receive a live starter plant (seedling/young plant). Listing photos show the plant at a mature stage for reference only. The actual plant size, shape, and appearance may vary and will be significantly smaller than the images shown.
Customer Notice:
Live plants may experience normal shipping stress such as leaf loss, yellowing, wilting, or minor branch damage.
Please consider local weather before purchasing. Extreme heat, freezing temperatures, severe weather, shipping delays, or unattended packages may increase plant stress.
Due to the perishable nature of live plants, returns are generally not accepted. If there is an issue with your order, please contact us within 48 hours of delivery and provide the required photos for review.
If there is an issue with your order, contact us within 48 hours of delivery and provide:
• Photos of the shipping box
• Photo of the shipping label
• Clear photos of the plant from multiple angles
• Scratch test photos if the plant appears dead or dormant
Dormant, stressed, defoliated, wilted, or transit-shocked plants are not automatically considered dead.
Claims submitted without required photos may not be eligible for review.
Claims submitted more than 48 hours after delivery will be considered accepted as received and may not be eligible for replacement or refund.
