A Rare House Plant with Intricate Beauty
Calathea Ornata, commonly known as Pinstripe Plant or Pinstripe Calathea, is a gorgeous foliage plant that will make a unique addition to your houseplant collection.
The name “ornata” means ornate, and refers to the intricate pattern on its big, variegated leaves. Thanks to its glossy deep green leaves with thin pink and yellow stripes, it’s easy to see why this plant’s foliage is so widely celebrated.
Like any plant in the Prayer Plant family, the leaves follow the light during the day and fold up at night. Though the motion is subtle, you’ll notice a burgundy purple color on the underside of the leaves, revealing another beautiful aspect of this diverse plant.
The Calathea Ornata is non-toxic and pet-friendly, making it safe for any area in your home. Plus, this showy plant is easy to grow and will add a decorative touch to any interior space.
Planting & Care
1. Planting: The Calathea Ornata does well with indirect bright light. Place your Pinstripe plant in front of a bright window, but be sure to keep it away from drafty areas.
When you’re repotting or planting your plant, select a container that’s twice the width of the shipped container and one that has drainage holes. Use a well-draining container potting mix then place your plant and water to settle the roots.If your potting mix needs more drainage we recommend mixing in perlite to help.
2. Watering: Calatheas can be quite particular when it comes to watering so try to be consistent and only water when around 75% of the soil is dry. You can test this by putting your finger in the soil to check its level of moisture. Too little or too much water will result in brown and yellowing leaves.
In addition to watering,keep the environment humid (over 40% is ideal) by using a cool misting humidifier or by misting the plant two to three times a week.
FGT Tip: If your leaves are still yellowing and browning and you have ruled out too little or too much water, try using filtered water the next time you water your plants.
3. Fertilizing: The main growing season of the Calathea plant is during March-October. You will want to fertilize during these months with a balanced houseplant fertilizer. Follow product instructions for more specifics.
4. Pruning: Little pruning is needed but occasionally you will need to prune any dead or damaged leaves off. Simply trim
the leaf at the base with a sharp pair of pruners.
