Calathea ornata is renowned for its elegant foliage, featuring deep green, almost black leaves finely traced with delicate pale pink pinstripes. Each leaf is uniquely patterned, with the vivid striping becoming more pronounced as the foliage matures, while the rich purple undersides add contrast when the leaves move. Like other members of the prayer plant family, Calathea ornata displays new foliage emerging tightly rolled before unfurling to reveal its intricate markings.

Water: Water little and often with filtered, room-temperature water.
