The pinstripe plant
The Calathea ornata, also known as the pinstripe Plant, originates from the tropical regions of South America. Here, this plant primarily grows in the rainforest, where it is sheltered by the shady environment.
The Calathea ornata is characterised by its striking leaves. These are deep green in colour, but are adorned with noticeable light pink stripes that run parallel to the leaf edges. Moreover, the leaves are not flat, but have a slight wavy edge, giving the plant a lively appearance.
Calathea is considered a lucky plant and are associated with good fortune and positive energy
