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!
