One of our most stunning replicas! Instantly add a refreshing touch of colour with this Artificial Calathea Plant. This plant has richly coloured green leaves with a subtle splash of orange that are wide and oval shaped.
Why we love our Artificial Mixed Leaves Calathea
Real Calatheas are known as some of the fussiest and hardest to keep alive varieties in the plant universe. There is no need to worry about sad dead leaves with our stunningly realistic artificial alternative. The gorgeous patterned foliage of this artificial plant makes it a real favourite amongst our customers and team at The Plants Project.
What’s the best way to style this plant?
All you need for this faux plant is a matching pot to compliment its large and vibrant leaves. For a fun and colourful combination, try it with our new Lightweight Bruno in Pink Terrazzo and pop it next to furniture or in a bare corner!
Dimensions
Our Calathea is 65 cm with a base diameter of 15 cm. A lush but slender plant variety, when unfurled, the leaves do not extend much beyond the diameter of its base.
How to Pot This Plant/Tree
These are potted in a plain black 'garden pot'. Our Calathea Plants have a weighted base that acts to stabilise the plant within your chosen pot. To pot, you can simply place the plant directly into your chosen pot decorative pot and leave as is. However, for added realism and optimal aesthetics, we suggest adding some coconut fibre, decorative moss or rocks around the base of the tree. We recommend using a pot size that is between 30 cm and 35 cm in diameter and similar in height – for added ease you can browse a selection of these on our site.
Which size pot fits this plant?
We recommend a pot 15cm height and 15cm wide. We have spent time curating our recommended pots for these plants below. Simply add your selection and you’re good to go.

We have customers who simply have restrictions – be it low light, busy schedules, small children, or curious pets. Faux plants give them the ability to bring greenery and joy into their space, minus the headache. Find out more here.
