Notes
Pinstripe calathea (Goeppertia ornata) is a perennial for containers and indoor spaces that need a low maintenance plant. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 11 and warmer, down to about 40°F (4°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes part sun to full shade and average to moist, loamy soil. Pink pinstripes mark the dark green leaves, and the undersides are purple. It forms a mounding clump and is non-toxic.
Pairs well with Aluminum plant, Flame violet, Pearls and Jade pothos, and Mini monstera.
