Calathea Ornata 🌿

With its glossy, deep green leaves striped in delicate pink, the Calathea Ornata is a total show-off, and we’re here for it. Native to the tropical forests of South America, this beauty brings all the rainforest drama without the diva behaviour (mostly).

It’s part of the prayer plant family, meaning its leaves gently fold up at night, yes, she’s spiritual and stunning. A lush pick for bathrooms, bedrooms or anywhere you want a hit of glam greenery.
