The Calathea Insignis, also known as the Calathea Rattlesnake, is a native Brazilian plant prized for its striking spotted foliage. It's an ideal houseplant for various light conditions, including low light, and is pet-friendly. Despite Calathea's reputation for being temperamental, the Calathea Insignis is quite manageable once you understand its needs.
  • Lighting: Prefers medium filtered to soft light. Avoid placing in overly bright areas as it can fade the leaves' patterning and colour. Keep away from heating/cooling drafts.
  • Watering: Maintain moist soil in summer, but avoid sogginess. Use your finger to check the top 3 - 5 cm of soil before watering. Reduce watering in winter and consider bottom watering for ease.
  • Humidity: Thrives in high humidity. Grouping plants together or using a pebble tray can help increase humidity around the plant. Avoid dry air from heaters or refrigerated air conditioners.
  • Fertilising: Use liquid fertiliser fortnightly during the warm months and reduce or refrain from fertilising in winter.
  • General Care: Clean leaves monthly with a damp cloth and prune older or damaged leaves to encourage healthy growth.

Shipping

This plant will be sent in its plastic growing pot

We only ship plants on Mondays. Please order before 2pm on Sunday to ensure your plant will be sent the following Monday. Orders placed after this time MIGHT not be shipped untill the following week.

We only ship plants to non-quarantine states (sorry sorry WA, TAS and NT residents). Shipping of plants is capped at $18.00 per order. This includes the packing materials and labour times. We use recycled packing where possible to reduce our waste and keep cost down, but we ensure that all packing material is sturdy enough to resist damage during transit.

If no one is home to receive your order, the parcel will be left in a safe place. We will not request signature on delivery, as parcels sent back to the post office may not get picked up for days, therefore increasing the amount of stress placed on the plant(s) inside.

This plant can also be picked up from the Northern Wellbeing Centre; 113C miller st, Epping VIC. If you select this option at check-out, we will email you to organise a pick-up time.
