Calathea Ornata Pinstripe Care Tips:

Light: Provide the Calathea Ornata Pinstripe with bright, indirect light to maintain its vibrant foliage patterns. While it can tolerate lower light conditions, it thrives in moderate to bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can cause leaf burn.

Soil: Plant your Calathea Ornata Pinstripe in well-draining soil to prevent waterlogging. A mixture of perlite, peat moss, and potting soil provides good aeration and moisture retention. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to allow excess water to drain away.

Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water your Calathea Ornata Pinstripe when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, adjusting the frequency based on environmental conditions. Use room temperature water to avoid shocking the roots.

Humidity: Maintain high humidity levels around the Calathea Ornata Pinstripe, as it thrives in humid environments. Regular misting, using a humidity tray, or placing it near a humidifier can help create the ideal humidity levels, especially in dry indoor environments.

Temperature: Keep the Calathea Ornata Pinstripe in a warm environment with temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Protect it from cold drafts and sudden temperature fluctuations, as it prefers stable conditions.

Fertilization: Feed your Calathea Ornata Pinstripe with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Avoid fertilizing during winter when growth slows down.

Pruning: Trim any yellowing or damaged leaves as needed to maintain the plant's appearance and encourage healthy growth. Remove any debris or dead leaves regularly to prevent pests and diseases.
