Calathea lancifolia (Rattlesnake Plant) – 4″ Pot

Calathea lancifolia, commonly known as the Rattlesnake Plant, is a stunning foliage plant loved for its long, narrow leaves marked with deep green patterns on a lighter green background. The undersides of the leaves display a rich purple hue, adding depth and visual interest from every angle. Grown in a 4-inch pot, this compact plant is perfect for desks, shelves, and cozy indoor corners.

One of its most fascinating features is its ability to move — the leaves gently fold upward at night and reopen during the day, giving it a lively, almost animated presence. Calathea lancifolia thrives in bright, indirect light and enjoys consistently moist soil along with higher humidity levels.

While slightly more attentive than beginner plants, it rewards proper care with vibrant foliage and healthy growth. Ideal for bedrooms, living spaces, and low-light areas with filtered light, the Rattlesnake Plant brings calm, softness, and tropical charm to any indoor plant collection.
