Goeppertia ornata 'Mieli': Leaves with lines that look painted

Calathea ornata (actually Goeppertia) has perhaps one of the most elegant foliage you can find. The leaves are a deep dark green with stunning pink lines drawn with precision along the veins, as if someone had painted thin brush strokes across each leaf. These contrasting lines create a sophisticated pattern that makes the leaves look hand-painted. The underside reveals a deep burgundy color!

The leaves unfold in the morning and fold back in the evening, a movement called "nyctinasty".

Care: indirect light, and a porous soil mixture, such as our peat-free soil . Always keep the soil slightly moist.
