Calathea Ornata 'Pinstripe' Plant 6cm

Calatheas have unusual foliage. This calathea has very dark oval leaves with fine pale pink lines. It requires little light to thrive but appreciates a warm, humid environment. We recommend watering with demineralized water, available at pharmacies, or with rainwater. Melted snow works very well! Calatheas do not tolerate the excess minerals found in tap water. This excess can cause root burn and damage the foliage.

Non-toxic to animals.
