Summary

The Pinstripe Calathea is a striking houseplant known for its dark green, almost black leaves adorned with delicate pinkish-white stripes that resemble fine brushstrokes. This elegant pattern gives the plant a refined, almost hand-painted appearance, making it a standout in any collection. The rich purple undersides add a bold contrast, enhancing its dramatic look.

Thriving in bright, indirect light and preferring consistently moist (but well-drained) soil, the Pinstripe Calathea flourishes in warm, humid conditions. Regular misting or placing it in a bathroom or kitchen will help maintain its signature glossy leaves.

With its sleek patterns and vibrant colours, the Pinstripe Calathea brings a touch of sophistication to your space — perfect for plant lovers seeking something both striking and graceful.
