Rattlesnake Calathea 2 Exact Live Plants – 4-Inch Pots – Goeppertia insignis

This listing includes 2 exact Rattlesnake Calathea live plants, botanically accepted as Goeppertia insignis and also widely sold under the name Calathea lancifolia. This tropical ornamental is known for its long, patterned leaves with contrasting darker markings and purple-toned undersides.

You will receive the 2 specific plants pictured in the listing photographs. Because these are actively growing live specimens, they may have gained or lost leaves since the photographs were taken. Leaf count, foliage position, coloration, root structure, and overall appearance can naturally change as the plants continue growing.

Each plant is specifically listed in a 4-inch pot, so the generic 2-inch starter-pot statement does not apply to this listing. The product-specific description says the plants will ship in their pots, while the separate shipping notice states that nursery pots are not included and plants ship bare root. Pot inclusion and final shipping condition should be verified before publishing because these statements conflict.

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.
