Calathea ornata is one of the most elegant foliage houseplants, prized for its rich, deep green leaves delicately striped with fine pink lines that appear almost hand-painted. Native to the tropical rainforests of South America, this beautiful plant brings colour, texture and a luxurious botanical feel to any room. Often known as the Pinstripe Calathea, its striking foliage is complemented by an unusual daily movement. Like other members of the Marantaceae family, the leaves gently raise and lower between day and night in response to changing light levels – a fascinating behaviour that has earned Calatheas the nickname "prayer plants". Thriving in bright, indirect light with consistently moist soil and higher humidity, Calathea ornata is ideal for bathrooms, kitchens or any room where humidity is naturally higher. Although it appreciates a little extra care, its spectacular foliage more than rewards the effort, making it a favourite for anyone looking to create a lush indoor jungle. Non-toxic to cats and dogs, it's also a reassuring choice for pet-friendly homes.
