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.
