Marantaceae
Calathea ornata 'Pinstripe'
Care at a glance
- Water
- Keep soil consistently moist but never soggy; allow the top inch to dry out slightly between waterings. Use distilled or rainwater to avoid leaf tip burn from tap water chemicals.
- Light
- Provide bright, indirect light; direct sunlight will scorch the leaves and fade their vibrant patterns.
- Humidity
- Requires high humidity, ideally above 60%.
- Temperature
- Maintain temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C).
- Soil
- Use a well-draining, peat-based potting mix.
- Fertilizer
- Fertilize monthly during spring and summer with a diluted liquid fertilizer.
- Toxicity
- Non-toxic to humans and pets.
- Propagation
- Propagate by division during repotting, ensuring each section has roots and at least one leaf shoot.
