Know before you buy
No, the Calathea Ornata is considered toxic to pets. It is best to place this plant in a room or on a shelf that your pets cannot access.
This plant requires bright, indirect light. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves and fade their distinct patterns.
Check the soil moisture before watering; you should wait until the top layer of soil feels dry to the touch. A weekly check is a good starting point, but environmental factors like humidity may adjust your specific schedule.
It is recommended to let the plant rest in its original pot for a short period after arrival. This allows the Calathea to acclimate to your home's environment before undergoing the stress of repotting.
The Calathea Ornata prefers temperatures between 65-85°F. Keep it away from drafty windows, air conditioning vents, or heaters to maintain its health.
