Calathea Ornata

Calathea ornata, also known as the Pinstripe Calathea, is a striking tropical plant admired for its large, glossy dark green leaves adorned with delicate pink or white stripes that resemble hand-painted pinstripes. The underside of the leaves reveals a deep purple hue, adding extra visual interest. Native to South America, this plant brings an exotic, sophisticated touch to any indoor space.

Key Characteristics:

• Dark green, oval leaves with elegant pink or white pinstripes

• Purple undersides create stunning contrast

• Upright, bushy growth habit

• Non-toxic to pets, making it a great choice for pet-friendly homes

Care Tips:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sun, which can scorch the leaves.

• Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water with filtered or distilled water if possible, as Calatheas are sensitive to salts and chemicals in tap water.

• Humidity: Requires high humidity to thrive—ideal for bathrooms or near a humidifier.

• Temperature: Keep in a warm environment (18°C–26°C). Avoid cold drafts.

• Soil: Use a rich, well-draining potting mix with good moisture retention.
