This listing includes 2 live Calathea Zebrina starter plants (Goeppertia zebrina). These young tropical foliage plants are cultivated using 2-inch nursery pots and are not fully rooted into the 2-inch cultivation pots. Based on the provided shipping notice, the 2-inch nursery pots are not included, and the plants are shipped bare root.
Calathea Zebrina is an ornamental tropical perennial recognized for its distinctive striped foliage. Its broad green leaves feature darker zebra-like markings, giving the plant a striking patterned appearance. It has a clumping growth habit and is well suited to indoor container culture.
You will receive young starter plants similar to those pictured. Because these are living plants, foliage pattern, leaf count, color, root structure, size, and overall appearance naturally vary from plant to plant.
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

Dormant, stressed, defoliated, wilted, or transit-shocked plants are not automatically considered dead.
