Details

The Calathea Ornata, commonly known as the Pinstripe Plant, is a striking houseplant celebrated for its dark green leaves adorned with delicate, pink pinstripes.

Native to the tropical rainforests of South America, the Calathea Ornata thrives in warm, humid environments. Its bold patterns and graceful movement make it a stunning centerpiece or accent in any indoor space, bringing a lush, tropical vibe to your home or office.

Care Instructions

Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can adapt to medium light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
Water: Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Use distilled or filtered water to prevent leaf spotting.
Humidity: Thrives in high humidity (50-60%). Use a humidifier or place the plant on a pebble tray for best results.
Feeding: Fertilize monthly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a diluted liquid fertilizer.
Temperature: Maintain temperatures between 65°F and 80°F. Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 60°F.
Soil: Use a well-draining, nutrient-rich potting mix.
