Details

Small prayer plant with light green leaves and dark spots along the midrib, like a leopard pattern. Lovely on a side table or in the bathroom, and safe for pets.

Species: Calathea leopardina · Height: 35 cm (including nursery pot) · Pot size: ø12 cm

The Calathea leopardina is a prayer plant with light green leaves and dark green spots along the midrib, like a leopard pattern. This small specimen is 35 cm tall including the grow pot and sits in a pot of ø12 cm.

The leaves sit on slender stems and rise up a little in the evening, which you can see well on a side table, a north-facing windowsill, or in a bright bathroom. Place it in a bright spot, but not in direct sun, so the pattern stays sharp. Don't let the soil dry out and use lime-free water or rainwater; with a little extra humidity, the leaf edges stay green. Because it's not toxic to cats and dogs, it also works in a home with pets. It's delivered in the grow pot; you choose a decorative pot separately.

Delivery

Shipping a two-metre plant takes more than a box and some tape. That's why we do it differently from an ordinary online shop.

How your plant arrives in one piece

Fresh from the greenhouse
Your plant does not sit in a warehouse for weeks. The grower only takes it out of the greenhouse after you order and prepares it straight away.
Packed securely
In a box made for plants. Plant and soil are secured and a protective sleeve keeps the leaves intact, so nothing shifts on the way.
Protected from heat and frost
Is it very hot or freezing outside? Then we add a cold pack or heat pack to the box, so the weather doesn't affect your plant on the way.
The right carrier for every size
Smaller plants are delivered by PostNL or DHL. The very largest plants travel upright on a pallet with a specialist carrier.
You know exactly when it arrives
As soon as your plant is on its way, you receive track & trace by email, so you can make sure someone is home and, for a large plant, someone to help carry it in.

When will your plant arrive?

4–5working days after you order

★★★★Het mag wel wat plant vriendelijker worden bezorgd

Het mag wel wat plant vriendelijker worden bezorgd. De plant kwam een beetje beschadigd aan. Door dat de bladeren op een onjuiste manier in de doos waren gestopt. Verder is het een mooie plant.

★★★★★Goede service en een mooie plant

Ik ben blij verrast! Een mooie uitziende plant en goed verpakt ontvangen. Bij de mededeling vroeg ik of zij wilde kijken naar een rechtopstaande plant en als het kan iets groter dan aangegeven maat. Daar heeft de kweker ook goed...

Frequently asked questions about Calathea leopardina

The questions we're asked most about this plant. Can't find yours? Our plant experts are happy to help.

Ask your question

Is a calathea toxic to cats?

No, a calathea is not toxic to cats and dogs. So the Calathea leopardina is also a safe choice if you have pets. Chewed leaves don't recover, though, so better to keep it a little out of the way.

How do you care for a Calathea leopardina?

Place the calathea in a bright spot out of direct sun and don't let the soil dry out. Use soft water or rainwater and feed every two weeks at half strength from April to September. It likes a temperature between 18 and 24 °C, not below 16 °C.

Why is my calathea getting brown edges?

Brown leaf edges are usually caused by dry air, hard tap water or compost that has dried out. Keep the plant away from radiators and water with rainwater or soft water. A bathroom with daylight is often a good spot.

How big does a Calathea leopardina get?

The Calathea leopardina stays a compact plant. At XXLplant you can buy it at 35 cm tall in a 12 cm pot, measured including the nursery pot. That makes it suitable for a side table, a windowsill without direct sun or the bathroom.

Why is my calathea folding up its leaves?

A calathea moves its leaves with the light: in the evening they fold up and in the morning they open again. That's normal and not a sign of a problem. If the leaves stay rolled up during the day, the soil is often too dry.

How is a Calathea leopardina delivered?

Your plant travels upright in its own plant box, with the leaves in a paper sleeve and the pot held firmly in place. In frost or heat we add a heat pack or cold pack. Within the Netherlands, orders placed Sunday to Wednesday usually arrive within 2 to 3 working days.
