Advanced Calathea lutea (Havana Cigar) for Pickup
Havana Cigar — Available for Pickup at the Nursery
Flowering now, in 300mm and 400mm pots, 2m plus — genuinely impressive, established specimens ready to make an immediate impact in your garden.
These go fast, and it’s easy to see why. Havana Cigar makes such a great screening plant, and the foliage is genuinely superb — especially around a pool bed, where you’re looking up into that waxy, silvery underside of the leaves as they catch the light. Relatively tough even in a coastal position, it’s a plant that delivers real drama with minimal fuss.
Given how quickly these move, this is exactly the kind of plant worth seeing in person and taking home the same day, rather than waiting.
We’re always happy to work with local Mission Beach landscaping companies and professional gardeners — come have a look at what’s currently ready, and we’ll help you find the right size and number for your project. Grown in 75% light.

How We Pack
Every plant is soaked in a tri-kelp solution before packing to reduce transit stress and give your plants the best start. We pack using recycled boxes. Your plants travel secure, hydrated, and wrapped in materials we feel good about.
Where We Ship
We ship to QLD, NSW, ACT and VIC via Australia Post eParcel with tracking on every order. Flat rate shipping applies — see checkout for rates to your state. We are unable to ship to WA, SA, TAS or NT at this time.
When We Ship
Orders are picked and packed weekly. During extreme heat, we may hold your order for a cooler shipping window to protect your plants in transit — if this happens, we'll let you know via email. We don't ship into known heatwave conditions.
When Your Plants Arrive
Open your box as soon as possible. Even a few hours in a hot letterbox or on a doorstep can stress tropical plants. Give them a good drink of water and a light foliar spray of kelp solution, place them in a shaded spot for a day or two gradually increasing light to recover from transit, then plant out or pot up into their permanent position. Most plants bounce back quickly — new growth within a few weeks is normal. for more information https://elarishtropicalexotics.com.au/2026/07/25/what-to-do-when-your-mail-order-plants-arrive/
