    •   Calathea 'Ornata', also called Pinstripe Calathea, is a tropical foliage plant native to the rainforests of South America, where it grows beneath the forest canopy in warm, humid conditions. A member of the Marantaceae family, it has become a favorite air purifying houseplant for its graphic patterning and upright, clumping growth style. Leaves grow on tall, upright stems in a clumping habit, creating a full presence. It typically reaches 2 to 3 feet tall and wide indoors without sprawling. [P3] Small, inconspicuous blooms occasionally appear on mature plants under ideal conditions, though flowers are rarely the main attraction indoors. It actively filters formaldehyde and other toxins while naturally humidifying the air around it. It is pet-safe and non-toxic to cats and dogs. [P4] Place it near kitchen moisture or in bathrooms where humidity naturally rises. It adapts to growing under office LED lighting as long as the light remains consistent and air is not too dry from climate control. The plant is sensitive to being moved and to direct air from AC or heater vents, so it benefits from a settled, stable location. It wilts visibly when thirsty.

    •   Calathea 'Ornata' grows well in medium to bright indirect light and scorches easily in direct south-facing windows.

        Water it every 7 to 10 days, keeping the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged.

        Calathea 'Ornata' does best in a well-draining, peat-free mix of coco coir, perlite, and compost.

        It prefers temperatures between 65 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit and cannot tolerate frost or temperatures below 40 degrees.

        Calathea 'Ornata' is a moderate grower that benefits from a balanced liquid fertilizer applied monthly during spring and summer.

        It is hardy in USDA zones 11 to 12, where temperatures stay above 40 degrees Fahrenheit year-round. It grows outdoors in Hawaii, South Florida, and the southernmost tips of California and Texas. Across the rest of the United States, including Arizona, Nevada, Georgia, Louisiana, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, Oregon, and all other states, it thrives as a permanent indoor houseplant.

    • Q: Is Calathea 'Ornata' safe for pets?
      A: It is non-toxic to cats and dogs, making it a safe choice for pet households.

      Q: What causes browning and curling on the leaves?
      A: Low humidity, dry air from AC or heating systems, and fluoride in tap water can all trigger these issues. Calathea 'Ornata' responds well to boosting humidity and switching to filtered or rainwater.

      Q: How much light does Calathea 'Ornata' need indoors?
      A: Stay several feet away from south-facing windows to prevent leaf scorch, though some bright indirect light during the day supports steady growth.

      Q: Can it grow under artificial lighting?
      A: Calathea 'Ornata' adapts to office LED lighting as long as the light is consistent and the surrounding air is not extremely dry.

      Q: How often should I water Pinstripe Calathea?
      A: Water every 7 to 10 days. The frequency depends on humidity and temperature in your home.

      Q: Does this plant need to be moved seasonally?
      A: Pinstripe Calathea prefers a settled, stable location away from direct air from heating or cooling vents. Moving it frequently causes leaf stress.

      🌿 For Houseplants
      When your package arrives, you may notice a bit of loose soil in the box. This is completely normal during shipping.
      Please remove your plants from their packaging as soon as possible and review the care instructions included with your order. Water based on your plant’s needs, making sure not to overwater.
      Houseplants may need a short adjustment period after arrival. Give your plant time to acclimate to its new space before placing it with other plants. You can gently clean the leaves if needed, and wait to fertilize until it has settled in. Always check soil moisture instead of watering on a fixed schedule.
      *** We pack carefully to protect each plant during transit, so larger orders may arrive in multiple packages.
