Meet the Calathea Pinstripe: Nature’s Striped Masterpiece
Elevate your indoor jungle with the elegant Calathea Ornata ‘Pinstripe’—a tropical showstopper loved for its dark green leaves painted with delicate pink and white pinstripes.

How to Care for Calathea Ornata
- Light: Thrives in medium to bright indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can fade the pinstripes.
- Water: Keep the soil evenly moist—never soggy. Allow the top inch to dry before rewatering. Prefers filtered or distilled water.
- Humidity: Loves high humidity (60%+). Mist regularly or use a humidifier to maintain tropical conditions.
- Temperature: Keep between 65–85°F. Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
- Soil: Use a light, airy mix rich in peat or coco coir. A well-draining potting mix prevents root rot.
- Feeding: Fertilize every 2–4 weeks during spring and summer with a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer.
- Propagation: Divide the root clump during repotting every 1–2 years for healthy new growth.
- Pruning: Trim any brown or yellow leaves to keep your plant looking lush and vibrant.
Fun Facts & Origins
🌿 Prayer Motion: The Calathea Pinstripe earns its nickname “Prayer Plant” from its nightly leaf movements—a natural rhythm known as nyctinasty.
🌎 Rainforest Native: Originating from humid South American jungles, its pinstriped leaves evolved to attract light in shaded environments—making it ideal for indoor living.
