Know before you buy
No, this plant is not pet-safe. It is best kept in a location that is inaccessible to curious pets.
It means the plant is somewhat sensitive to its environment. You will need to be diligent about maintaining consistent moisture and providing the right balance of humidity and light to keep the foliage looking its best.
Bright, indirect light is best, such as a spot near an east-facing window or a few feet back from a south-facing window. Avoid direct sun, which can scorch the delicate, striped leaves.
This plant prefers consistent moisture, so you should water it once the top inch of soil feels slightly dry to the touch. Be careful not to let it sit in standing water, as this can lead to root rot.
Yes, the Calathea 'Pinstripe' comes as a rooted specimen in a 4-inch nursery pot. It is ready to be placed in a decorative planter of your choice.
