The Calathea ornata, often known as the Calathea Pinstripe, is well-known for its distinctive leaves and tropical beauty. It is not difficult to grasp its expanding requirements, despite its temperament. This pet-friendly plant has gorgeous glossy dark green foliage with pink and white stripes that nearly appear hand painted!
Plant Care
Fertilizer/ feed for the plant: Fertilize your Calathea with a high-nitrogen fertiliser every three weeks during the summer. Feed the fertiliser once a month during the winter.
Repotting : Repot your Calathea once a year. Select a pot that is one size larger than the previous one. Calatheas can be transmitted by division. Wait until your Calathea has reached a mature size before splitting it. Calathea can also be propagated by stem cuttings.
Typical issues
1. Why the leaves of Calathea are turning brown.
Both under-watering and over-fertilization can cause leaf browning. If this problem happens, water your plant less regularly and apply less fertiliser.
2. What is the cause of the limp stem on my calathea?
Limp stems are a sign of over-watering or extremely cold conditions. Change the location of your Calathea to a warmer location and water it less regularly.
3. What is causing my Calathea to droop?
Overwatering or exposure to cold conditions can induce leaf drooping. Make careful to adjust your watering schedule and relocate your plant to a warmer location.
Design and Decoration
Light Requirements: Calatheas enjoy bright, indirect sunshine. Keep your Calathea away from direct sunlight at all times. Calatheas are known to be temperamental. However, with the correct quantity of water and sunlight, you can easily grow Calatheas indoors.
Locations : Keep your Calathea near a window or on a shaded balcony where it will get enough indirect light. The Calathea can be found in offices, lobbies, cubicles, or meeting spaces.
Styling/decor tip : A single Calathea may completely transform the aesthetic of your house. It adds texture and colour to your minimalist design. You may also arrange several kinds of Calatheas together to create a lovely green nook that is pleasing to the eye. For the Calathea, we recommend choosing a lighter monochromatic planter or our gold metallic planter.
