The Ctenanthe Amagris is a distant relative of the Calathea, and shows this heritage on the surface of its leaves. She comes from tropical areas in Central and South America where she grows in the shade of trees. The Ctenanthe pulls up her leaves every evening when she goes to ‘sleep' and when it’s really quiet you may even hear the rustling of the leaves! Take good care of her and she will soon produce more leaves, and before you know it she will be ready for her next pot!
The baby Ctenanthe Amagris does not need a lot of water- we recommend just an occasional dash to prevent the soil from drying out. To keep her totally happy and to prevent white spots from appearing on her leaves, give her a shower of distilled water or rainwater from your plant sprayer once in a while. For fuller and more concentrated growth you should also regularly prune her and remove dead leaves. And please be cautious- Ctenanthe Amagris is poisonous for pets.

September 07, 2024Amazing, fast growing and easy to care for plant. I cannot seem to keep calatheas alive, but this little nephew grew to a large bushy, but compact plant looking very healthy and beautiful. Does not need a lot of care or water, but needs repotting often. Stays low (<30xm), but spreads in width. Lovely colors.

July 05, 2023This must be one of the cutest baby plants I’ve ordered so far (and I’ve ordered many)! It is much fuller than pictured and super healthy- no browning or yellowing in sight and is growing well. A very nice and unexpected surprise.

Everything about Ctenanthe
Ctenanthe is a beautiful tropical houseplant with much popularity among plant parents. While they can be a bit fussy, their beauty makes up for it. They are native to Central and South America, primarily Brazil, where they grow in the undergrowth of humid and warm tropical forests.
Ctenanthe is a plant with a unique name that's pronounced "ten-an-thee" (the "c" is silent). They are also known as the Never Never Plant or Prayer Plant because they close their leaves at night as if they're in prayer and open them again in the morning. They are part of the Marantaceae family, along with Calathea and Maranta.
