The Pinstripe Plant has thin pink and white stripes on dark green glossy leaves. Like other Calathea plants, it opens and closes its leaves throughout the day. It also appreciates a humid environment and will tolerate low to bright light.


Indoor houseplants need a balanced mix of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium to maintain healthy leaves, vibrant flowers, and a strong root system. Most indoor houseplant plant foods will provide the right amount of nutrients for a wide variety of plants. Many include additional nutrients that are beneficial to plants such as boron, magnesium, and manganese. Plant foods come in different forms such as liquid, slow-release, or granular products.

This type of soil mix is ideal for most houseplants because it’s well-draining, lightweight, and easy to handle. A good indoor houseplant soil mix will include ingredients such as compost, pine bark, coir, worm castings, peat moss, hydrafiber, or perlite.

This variety has thin white and pink stripes on dark green leaves.
