Description

Calathea Ornata earns the nickname "pinstripe plant" because of its lustrous variegated color. There's no doubt this houseplant can add massive value to your living space in its warm, snug and overall brilliant appeal. 

It is often confused with a prayer plant as they both have leaves that extend upward and downward as the sun rises and sets - like a person who raises their hands in prayer.  This plant is not only decorative but also a great air purifier that contributes to your overall health and well-being.

Place your Calathea in a room that receives bright indirect light. Insufficient lighting will stunt its growth while too much direct light will cause it to lose its distinctive stripes.  

Plant Biography

 Calathea Ornata is native to South America and noticed in many tropical climates such as Thailand. They are mostly found in rain forest growing under the canopies of trees. Calatheas in general require lots of shade along with well draining soil. In Brazil, natives use their distinct leaves to craft containers to hold their rice crop. They are typically slow growing but in their natural habitat they can grow up to 3 feet tall.
