Goeppertia (Calathea) ornata 'Beauty Star' is a patterned prayer plant with slim elongated leaves marked by fine pink, cream and fresh green striping. Darker margins and wine-purple undersides create contrast as the leaves lift and settle through the day. Its tidy, upright growth makes it easy to place among other foliage plants while still giving a clear striped look on its own. Steady indoor warmth, bright indirect light and moderate-to-high humidity support the fine leaf pattern. The plant stays compact enough for shelves, plant stands and mixed foliage groupings.
