# Hi! The nursery pot says Calathea Lancifolia but it does not look…

_Posted by kateui on 2024-07-28_

Hi! The nursery pot says Calathea Lancifolia but it does not look like the rattlesnake version at all. It looks just like a Calathea Orbifolia but darker and with purple undersides of the leaves. The leaves are big and round.

Basically an Orbifolia with the coloring of a Lancifolia…can anyone help identify?

Thanks! =)

Here’s my Calathea Orbifolia for comparison!
