Calathea ornata

One of our favorite Calathea! Very is easy to care for. They are known their distinct markings that stand out among other Calathea. During the day, their leaves are horizontal to photosynthesize and at night, their leaves close up vertically. They can put on quite the photonastic movements!

Care:

Calathea thrive in bright filtered light while taking care to avoid direct sun. While they prefer a bright space they can tolerate low light very well! They do not like super dry spaces so prefer to stay slightly moist. To achieve this, water when first 1-2" of soil starts to try out. This may roughly be 5-7 days depending on your home environment. When re-potting use an all purpose soil medium.
