The Calathea Beauty Star, also known as Calathea Ornata, is a stunning tropical plant admired for its striking foliage. Its large, dark green leaves are adorned with pink and white stripes that resemble painterly brushstrokes, adding a touch of elegance to any indoor space.
Light Needs: Calathea Beauty Star thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can cause its leaves to fade or scorch. Place your plant near a window with filtered sunlight or in a spot with gentle, indirect light.
Water Needs: Keep the soil of your Calathea Beauty Star consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, allowing excess water to drain away. Ensure the plant is not sitting in water to prevent root rot.
Humidity Needs: Calathea Beauty Star thrives in high humidity environments. Aim to maintain humidity levels of at least 50% to 60%. You can increase humidity by misting the leaves regularly, placing the pot on a humidity tray filled with water and pebbles, or using a room humidifier.
