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. As a member of the prayer plant family, its leaves move in response to light, folding upward at night and unfurling during the day, adding a dynamic touch to your home.

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.
