Calathea 'Ornata'
Pinstripe Calathea πΏπ is loved for its deep green leaves lined with soft pink stripes, giving it a polished, elegant look that stands out beautifully on shelves, desks, and plant stands. It does best in bright indirect light indoors, where the striping stays nicest and the foliage is protected from harsh sun. This plant is generally manageable, but it prefers steady moisture and a little extra humidity more than tougher beginner plants. Pro tip: if the leaf edges start crisping, check for dry air, dry soil, or a spot too close to a vent π§.

I'm actually shocked. This Pinstripe Calathea is STUNNING!! β οΈπ―β€οΈπ₯°πͺ΄ππ½ But because the shipping info was basically non existent, I was prepared for a really subpar plant. I'm thrilled to share my fears were NOT realized. This plant πͺ΄ π arrived extremely well packaged, still moist and gorgeous. I am so happy with my purchase & would happily recommend this seller!! 5 π all the way! πππͺ΄ππ½π§

I waited a little bit to write a review, just to see how my plants would do once they settled in, and I am happy to report my calathea is doing the absolute best a calathea can be expected to do. They are notoriously fussy plants, so in the picture, you'll see some brown edges on the leaves, but she is growing, and overall healthy. Very happy with the quality and health, and when I am ready to add more plants to my hoard, I will definitely be checking what this seller has available.
The plant is alive and settling in nicely!
There was a problem with my first plant the shop was super responsive and accommodating! Will probably order exclusively from them
