Calathea ‘Ornata’, commonly called the Pinstripe Plant, is a tropical beauty known for its deep green, oval leaves adorned with fine pink stripes that run parallel to the veins. The undersides of the leaves are a rich purple, adding contrast and drama to its overall appearance. Its compact, upright growth habit makes it ideal for tabletops, shelves, or grouping with other tropical plants for a lush indoor display.
‘Ornata’ thrives in indirect light and high humidity, making it perfect for indoor spaces that mimic its native tropical environment.
Care Requirements
• Light: Bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn.
• Water: Keep soil evenly moist, watering when the top inch of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering.
• Humidity: Prefers high humidity; mist regularly or use a humidifier.
• Growth Habit: Upright rosette with deep green leaves, delicate pink stripes, and purple undersides.
Pet Safety
Calathea species, including ‘Ornata,’ are non-toxic to pets and safe for homes with cats and dogs.
