Calathea Ornata-Beauty Star
Calathea Ornata or Pinstripe, as it is commonly referred as, is a plant that will leave your guests speechless. The dark green leaves with their signature pink stripes make a lasting impression.
Basic Care
If you want to enjoy dark leaves with beautiful pink stripes you will need to give this houseplant love. Frequent watering, indirect sunlight and good air humidity. Find a spot that has enough indirect sunlight and pay close attention to the plant for a week or two to catch any potential issues. Your plant will need a while to adapt to the new environment so there is no need to panic if it doesn’t look the best during that time. When it comes to the Pinstripe, will let you know if it receives to much light. The beautiful pink stripes will start to fade and turn white if it’s exposed to too much ligt. Simply move the plant to an area with less direct light.
Watering and misting the leaves is also important. Calatheas like humidity and require frequent watering, however they do hate to sit in water so be sure to not overwater. Develop a good watering routine to keep your plant strong and healthy. Watering the plant once per week (during summer) and a little less during colder months of the year is what the plant needs. It is best to water by “feeling”, as humidity conditions vary from home to home. The soil should be slightly moist most of the time. Make sure you water the plant when the top inch or two of soil is dry.
