Calathea Ornata is a stunning tropical plant native to South America. It has striking leaves with dark green stripes and pink veins that make it a popular choice among houseplant enthusiasts.

Here are some care instructions to help you keep your Calathea Ornata healthy and thriving:

Light: Calathea Ornata prefers bright indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, so it's best to keep it away from windows that receive direct sunlight.

Watering: Water your Calathea Ornata when the top inch of soil feels dry. It prefers to be kept moist but not waterlogged, so make sure the soil drains well. Avoid using hard water or water that has gone through a water softener, as this can cause the leaves to turn brown.

Humidity: Calathea Ornata prefers high humidity. You can increase the humidity around the plant by placing a tray of water nearby or using a humidifier.

Temperature: Calathea Ornata prefers temperatures between 65-80°F (18-26°C). Keep it away from drafty windows or doors.

Fertilizer: Feed your Calathea Ornata once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced fertilizer.

Propagation: Calathea Ornata can be propagated through division during repotting.

Pruning: Prune any yellow or brown leaves as they appear to keep the plant looking healthy.

With proper care, your Calathea Ornata will thrive and bring beauty to your home.
