Calathea Ornata Care guide

Calathea Ornatas grow uprightly as small bushes.

In this Article we highlight  the differences between A- Ornata pinstripes, B –Majestica White Star, C -Beauty Star

The Ornata pinstripes offer sophistication and a stylish focal point to your home or office place.

The dark green leaves of the Pinstripe Ornata have striping that honestly look styled by an artisan painter.
The undersides of the leaves are deep purple. It’s a stunning effect.

The Majestica White Star has some pink on it like the pinstripe.

The pink will change as the plant grows.
The white stripes will become more distinct as the plant matures.

Unlike the Pinstripe Ornata, the striping pattern of the White Star is densely packed. The leaves are long and narrow growing on long stems.

The Beauty Star
We really love this plant’s patterning. This plant is similar to the pinstripe in the stripe spacing and leaf shape and bushiness of the plant.

However, the beauty stars add light green highlights on each side of the rib and through the leaves with a dark green perimeter. It’s a beautiful showy plant.

Calathea leaves move gently throughout the day to position themselves to the light. At night they fold up and in the morning open to the light.
They make lovely plants for the table top, shelves or even a corner on the floor if you can keep it out of drafts.

All Calatheas and other praying hands genus’ are non toxic to humans and pets. They also filter the air and improve the air quality in your home or office.
Calthea ornata leaves curling or browning at the tips and edges indicates plant stress.

Most likely watering problems, or light conditions. These plants will complain with poor color, by drooping leaves and stems or brown crisping and curling leaves when they are not happy.
However If you correct the conditions to suit your plant they will rebound if the problem is not too far gone.
