PLANT

Calathea Sanderiana plants are part of the plant family known as Marantaceae, which is native to the tropical Americas and Africa.
They are famous for their broad, green and colourful leaves. These broad leaves make them popular for low-light areas. In nature, they are found in jungles and at the base of trees.
Calathea Sanderiana, Ornata or Pin Stripe has large glossy dark green leaves with white fishbone-like stripes with pink tones. The underside of the leaf is dark purple. With such an interesting colour contrast, the Sanderiana is a striking focal point for any room.

CULTIVATION

Calathea Sanderiana is familiar with rainforest soil, which means it likes a moist environment. It is highly sensitive to cold, draughts and sudden temperature changes. It grows best in warm, moist and well-lit conditions, but does not like direct sunlight. Calathea does not like stagnant water.
