Calathea Ornata Variegated - 5" Pot

Calathea Ornata (Goeppertia ornata), the Pinstripe Plant, is an elegant prayer plant grown for its glossy, dark green leaves finely lined with delicate pink or rose pinstripes, set off by deep purple undersides. The crisp linear markings give a refined, designer look that suits modern interiors. New leaves often emerge with brighter pink stripes that mellow with age. Like other calatheas it raises and folds its leaves at night. It thrives in warm, humid, medium-light conditions with steadily moist soil. Non-toxic to pets, it is safe around cats and dogs. Ideal for shaded, humid rooms, Ornata adds graceful pattern to indoor displays.

Growing tips

In India keep Ornata in warm humid shade with filtered or rainwater and steady moisture; the fine pinstripes and edges brown quickly in dry air, direct sun or hard water.
