10" Calathea Exotica 3 Feet Tall
Photographed individually · sold in small batches
The Calathea Exotica, scientifically known as Calathea picturata ‘Exotica’, is a beautifully patterned houseplant loved for its long, oval leaves brushed with shimmering silver and accented by deep green striping. The underside reveals a soft plum color, giving every leaf a layered, elegant contrast. This plant adds instant movement and personality to any room since Calatheas naturally raise and lower their leaves throughout the day. Its soft tones and bold stripes make it perfect for bedrooms, living rooms, offices, or any space where you want something calming yet visually striking.
Growing in a lush 10 inch pot, this Exotica makes a full, dramatic presence without taking over your space, making it ideal for plant stands, tabletops, and corners in need of texture and subtle color.
How to Care for a Calathea Exotica

- Watering: Keep the soil consistently lightly moist. Water when the top 2" feels dry. Try not to let the soil dry out all the way.
- Humidity: Enjoys high humidity (60% +)
- Pets: Safe for pets.
Each plant comes with care instructions to help it stay full, vibrant, and thriving in your home.

Shipping & arrival
Ships within 1–2 business days, arrives in 2–4 days anywhere in the continental US — free on orders over $75. Plants travel bare-root in an insulated, braced box (heat packs in winter). If yours arrives stressed, text us a photo within 48 hours and we'll make it right.
Styling & placement
Check the care chips above for this plant's light needs, then match the room: bright-light plants love south- or west-facing windows; low-light varieties soften dim corners, shelves, and offices. Statement plants read best with space around them — beside a sofa, framing a window, or anchoring an empty corner. Smaller plants work in odd-numbered groups at varying heights.
