The Calathea Pinstripe, also known as Calathea ornata, is a striking indoor plant cherished for its bold foliage. Its leaves are adorned with delicate pink stripes that contrast beautifully against the deep green, adding a touch of elegance to any space.
Light Needs: Calathea Pinstripe plants prefer bright, indirect light. They thrive in locations with filtered sunlight or partial shade. Direct sunlight can scorch their leaves, so it's best to place them near a window with a sheer curtain or in a spot where they receive gentle, indirect light.
Water Needs: Keep the soil of your Calathea Pinstripe consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water them thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry, allowing excess water to drain away. It's important to avoid letting the soil dry out completely or becoming too soggy.
Humidity Needs: Calathea Pinstripe plants require high humidity levels to thrive. Aim for humidity levels between 50-60%. You can increase humidity by misting the leaves regularly, placing a humidifier nearby, or setting the pot on a tray filled with pebbles and water (ensure the pot is above the water level).
