Calathea 'Ornata'

Calathea ‘Ornata’

• Botanical Name: Goeppertia ornata ‘Ornata’ (formerly Calathea ornata)

• Common Name: Pinstripe Calathea

• Origin: Colombia and Venezuela

• Color: Dark green leaves with pale pink pinstripes; purple undersides

• Growth: Upright and compact, with long, oval-shaped leaves

‘Ornata’ is one of the more recognizable calatheas, thanks to its fine linear markings that resemble hand-drawn pinstripes. The leaf surface is smooth and slightly glossy, and the color contrast remains even as the plant matures. It tends to stay smaller than some of its relatives, making it well-suited for shelves or tighter spaces where height matters more than spread.
