Calathea Ornata - Pin Stripe

Lush, deep green leaves form the base for what looks like feathery stripes of white, ivory, or pink. These fine stripes create the same look as a bird’s plumage might.

Punctuated by the slender stem, it is highly attractive! 

The underside of the leaves has a distinct purplish hue which is similar to that of a rattlesnake plant. As the plant gets older, even the pink-striped varieties tend to fade to a creamy white striping that’s still quite appealing.

Also a member of the Prayer plant family, they get its name for its unique habit of raising its leaves to an upright position at night time. The leaves fold together like hands during prayer!​
