Calathea Zebrina 2 Live Starter Plants – 2-Inch Pot – Goeppertia zebrina

This listing includes 2 live Calathea Zebrina starter plants, botanically known as Goeppertia zebrina. This tropical foliage plant is recognized for its broad green leaves with distinctive darker striping, giving it the zebra-like pattern associated with its common name.

These are starter plants inserted into 2-inch pots and are not fully rooted into the 2-inch pots. Each plant is carefully wrapped for shipping. Please avoid disturbing the growing medium and developing root system unnecessarily after arrival. The actual plants will naturally vary in leaf pattern, size, shape, and overall appearance from the listing photos.

Calathea Zebrina is commonly grown as an indoor foliage plant and has an upright, clumping growth habit. It generally prefers bright, indirect light, a well-draining but moisture-retentive growing medium, and consistent moisture without prolonged waterlogging.

Shipping clarification: The supplied information contains conflicting statements about whether the 2-inch pots are included or whether plants are shipped bare root. Because the listing specifically states that the plant will be shipped in a 2-inch pot, please verify the final shipping format before publishing this listing.

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:
