Calathea Ornata

The Calathea Ornata, also known as the Pinstripe Calathea, is a popular variety due to the pairs of narrow pink stripes on its dark leaves which look like they’ve been painted on. Known as prayer plants, the Calathea’s foliage folds up at night and drops during the day. It’s a truly stunning plant and makes for the perfect gift. Or why not add it to your own collection?
