Calathea ornata (Pinstripe Calathea) The Calathea ornata, or Pinstripe Calathea, is a sophisticated tropical houseplant prized for its glossy, deep green leaves elegantly lined with soft pink pinstripes. Its graceful movement—leaves that rise and fall in response to light—adds a dynamic and serene presence to any indoor space. A true statement piece that brings texture and refined color to modern interiors.
Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can cause the leaves to scorch.
