Calathea Ornata Pinstripe
Care Instructions
- Light: Filtered light is perfect - no direct sunlight.
- Water: Use a spray bottle a few times a week to keep the soil moist, then a nice big drink once a week.
- Temperature: The warmer the better, keep away from cold air blasts or chilly windows!
- Soil: A rich, well-drained potting mix is best. Lift your plastic pot from the outer pot once a week to keep an eye on the bottom tray - don't let the plant sit in water!
- Did you know: Calathea love being around other plants, and will actually grow better when they're in a group!
Green Thumb Level
Easy - Medium
Given the right conditions, these striking plants are fast growers, however they are highly sensitive to cold draughts and other temperature fluctuations - so while you may enjoy the airconditioning blasting in the summer, your Calathea won't!
