Calathea Ornata Sanderiana - Pink Striped Prayer Plant
The Calathea Ornata Sanderiana is a distinctive houseplant known for its decorative foliage and unique leaf movement. This specimen arrives in a 17cm diameter pot, standing 40-50cm tall, ready to add visual interest to your indoor space.
Distinctive Leaf Patterns and Movement
The plant displays elongated leaves with deep green coloring accented by bright pink stripes running along the surface. The underside reveals a rich purple hue, creating a two-toned effect. A notable characteristic of this Calathea is its nyctinastic movement - the leaves fold upward in the evening and open again during the day, earning it the common name "prayer plant." This natural rhythm creates an ever-changing display throughout the day.
Optimal Placement and Light Requirements
Position your Calathea Ornata Sanderiana in an area with partial shade or indirect light. Direct sunlight will damage the delicate leaf tissue and cause the vibrant pink stripes to fade. The plant adapts well to various indoor environments, making it suitable for living rooms, bedrooms, or office spaces with appropriate lighting conditions.
Watering and Humidity Needs
This Calathea requires moderate watering frequency, approximately once weekly. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged - excess water sitting in the pot can lead to root issues. High humidity levels are essential for maintaining healthy foliage. Consider placing the plant near other houseplants, using a humidity tray, or running a humidifier nearby to meet its moisture requirements.
