Rattlesnake Plant – Bold Patterned Foliage
The Rattlesnake Plant (Calathea lancifolia) is a striking tropical houseplant, loved for its long, lance-shaped leaves patterned in rich green with darker markings and vivid purple undersides. Native to Brazil, it brings an instant touch of the rainforest indoors, with lush foliage that moves gently in response to light throughout the day.
Perfect for brightening up your living spaces, the Rattlesnake Plant not only adds dramatic greenery but also helps to purify the air. With the right care, it can reach up to 1 metre tall, making it a long-lasting statement piece for your home.

Choosing the Right Decorative Pot
To give your plant the perfect fit, you’ll need to select a decorative pot separately. As a general rule, go one size up from the nursery pot. For example, if your plant comes in a 12cm nursery pot, choose a decorative pot with an internal diameter of around 14–16cm for the best fit. Explore our full plant pot collection below to find the perfect match.

Caring For Your Rattlesnake Plant (Calathea lancifolia) Bold Patterned Foliage
WATERING
Water thoroughly when the top 2cm of soil feels dry to the touch; avoid letting the plant sit in water.
Water more during the growing season,
less frequently in winter. If possible, use filtered
water as Calatheas are sensitive to fluoride.
LIGHT & POSITION
Thrives in bright, indirect light, but avoid direct sun.
HUMIDITY
Loves high humidity; mist often or use a humidifier.
