These look so pretty but my cats will chew most plants just because they're there. So i checked and Calathea Couture are dog, cat ,horse safe and non toxic. I've been looking for a new indoor plant so i'm looking for one of these now. TY OP
I’m not a horticulturist, but that looks to be an understory plant, never seen the full sun or humidity less than 50%, I am an amateur plant lover however.
Calatheas are the most moody plants... however, this one is in wrong substrate and heavily underwatered, so it didn't have much of a chance to survive ... (but even in the best conditions, these plants are a challenge. Source: I have 50+)
For folks wanting some legit BRIGHT purple plants: strobilanthes dyeriana or Gynura aurantiaca. A few Tradescantia can be gorgeously purple, too, including Pallida; Zebrina can have some lovely purple stripes on other colors.
As a bonus, these are the easiest plants on the face of the earth to grow. They love heat and light and everything else is a bonus. They'll grow too much and you have to cut pieces off and then THOSE pieces will grow and honestly I have way too many now
It might have saturation turned up, but the more bright light some plants get, the brighter and more intense the colors can become. This is also a more mature plant and I can't find any other examples of similar plants mature, but it might be a Calathea roseopicta 'surprise star' or 'princess jessy'
I've never heard of this species, and when I googled it, only this specific came up (for the pink version). Seems fishy. This is what a normal Calathea Couture looks like, apparently: (don't fall for edited photos, people. Etsy is full of them. Most of them are scams)
Nice! I like my Rufibarba (which... okay technically isn't a calathea like a lot of them), but it's such a bitch... I need more fuzzy plant replacements lmao
Yep, killed one of those, it hated everything I did with it. A shame because it's such a pretty thing. I'm currently looking to get a Cephalotus, which I wouldn't call fuzzy, but it's definitely hairy. If you're into succulents grab a woolly rose, v fuzzy.
When my next Rufibarba inevitably dies and I need a replacement I'll look at that lol, thank you! Atm I have a Gynura which is wonderfully fuzzy (and gorgeous, to boot) too! Also highly recommend 'em
While the picture is heavily oversaturated, plants and their leaves can have multiple colors and even change colors based on environment conditions. See: Trees in Autumn (or pretty much any colorful leafy plant as it grows)
It is an edited picture, the plant above doesn't exist. Some dodgy plant shops put plants in died water to create this effect, but the image above is just photoshop. If you want a similar looking plant, I recommend the roseoptica, the dottie or the surprise stars.
This is so obviously shopped that I wonder how you'd miss it. Also, when you google the plant name, this is the only image that comes up for this pink variety, every other plant under this name looks very different. It is a very common scam to sell seeds or rhizomes for plants with doctored photos, because buyers will notice too late that it is not the same plant
It absolutely is a plant name, just not for the plant shown above. And thanks, I know what couture means :) People pick all kinds of silly names for plants (Alocasia Dragon Scale and so on).

I searched this up when i saw it on fb, and the only site using this picture is mercari... so it's definitely bullshit.

Bullshit indeed. Doctored picture.

They'll only look like that for about 2 days anyway, they're calathea

I don't think that's an actual type name, mind. Idk what variety the one in OP is
Feralkyn
(but calathea in general, regardless of the genus--there's multiple--should be safe)
Justtoberight
Calatheas are not toxic for most pets. But this one is a photoshopped image, the plant doesn't exist.
TheFunGuyinOz
Oooh ... I want these for my garden!

Turn the saturation back down, and sure.

If you want Skyrim nightshade, get a Tradescantia Pallida

Dotties and Surprise Stars are probably the closest to the "look", but the plant above is neither of them. It is a heavily edited picture, apparently.

I saw this on Facebook AI earlier this morning so the algorithm machine must be working :)

Yes, they don’t normally have that thick of a pink line.

Hey I think I have one of those.

I don't think that's a variety name regardless? I thought it just referred to fashion, ex. "calathea fashion"
MmmmmSoup
They're normally a dull pink this is definitely edited

Saturation is cranked up. Obvious by the surroundings.
NickRivieraMD
more than that. This pattern doesn't seem to happen at all in this species.

Roseopicta varieties have similar, surprise star/princess jessy/dottie

I have three Dotties, this is not the same plant (above). I suspect heavy photoshop editing.

Huchera is also great and a perennial!

The lines are pretty thin on those. Jessy/surprise star maybe

May I also interest you in the humble Coleus? Nettle used as bedding crop, comes in many colors
rivershoulder
Do you know if it does well in cold?
Neonkitty
It does not, unfortunately. You can take cuttings and grow them inside in the winter though.
arfysdad
Extremely simple to propagate; cut a stem and stick it in damp soil. Or, place stem and leaf in a small vase of water.
hopanio
I love Coleus! My Grandmother grows it!

I got mad at mine for dying and put it under a brighter LED bulb and told it to fuck off and now it's regrowing leaves. They're such assholes
Ausmerica
I'm just going for Ctenanthe instead. Lots of species that are reminiscent of Calatheas, and my greystar has been easy peasy and grows really well.

It has been doctored, you can see the outlines where they applied the hue/saturation. They are pretty IRL but not that garish.
Feralkyn
I'm not seeing it?
Neilikka
Google gives some examples, like this one https://www.thejunglecollective.com.au/product/calathea-dottie-180mm/
MrWolfwood
I think you are correct. Far back left 2 green leaves are "turning" purple. left, middle and right bottom all have green leaves.
Feralkyn
That's how plants often grow, though. Green when young, colorful as they get older.
Grimmrog
Not necessarily some pla ts have that habit to color some leaves only under specific conditions.
