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

  • Light: Prefers bright indirect light but can also tolerate lower light areas.
  • 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.

What's included

Every plant arrives in a nursery pot with care instructions tailored to its specific needs. Add one of our decorative pots to your order, and we’ll repot your plant into it before shipping so it arrives ready to display. Every purchase is backed by our Healthy Arrival Guarantee, so you can order confidently in any season. Shop our Pots collection to complete the look.

Shipping & arrival

Plants ship the same business day they’re ordered. To prevent plants from sitting in a warehouse over the weekend, some orders may be held to ship at the best time. Once shipped, most orders arrive within 2–4 business days. West Coast orders ship on Mondays as transit typically takes five days. Orders over $150 ship free.

We ship plants year-round, and during cold weather, heat packs are included at no additional cost. Every order is protected by our Healthy Arrival Guarantee. If your plant arrives damaged or unhealthy, contact us within 48 hours of delivery with photos, and we’ll work with you to make it right.

Styling & placement

Check the care tips 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.
