2 Calathea Orbifolia Starter Plants – Goeppertia orbifolia

This listing includes 2 Calathea Orbifolia starter plants, botanically known as Goeppertia orbifolia. This tropical foliage plant is recognized for its broad, rounded green leaves with distinctive silvery striping, making it a popular ornamental plant for indoor and protected container collections.

These are young starter plants grown in 2-inch nursery pots for cultivation, but the pots are NOT included. The root systems are described as fully established, although these starter plants are not fully rooted throughout the entire 2-inch cultivation pot. Each plant is shipped with a protected soil pod around the roots, which should remain undisturbed immediately after delivery.

The smaller starter plants shown represent the general growth stage customers should expect. Actual plants naturally vary in leaf number, foliage pattern, silver coloration, root structure, and overall appearance.

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.
