Calathea is also known as the "Pinstripe Plant" for good reason – its elongated, dark green leaves are lined with electric pink stripes. Seeing this plant for the first time, it's hard to believe it's not been painted - the pinstripes are so delicate that they look like brushstrokes, contrasting beautifully with plant's deep green leaves and dark purple undersides. Give Calathea a central place in your home and this indoor plant is sure to draw comments and admiration.
Calathea prefers medium to bright indirect light. Keep guarded from direct sun and mist periodically to increase humidity around the plant and keep its leaves lush.
