The Ctenanthe Burle Marxii is a real eye-catcher with her oval leaves that have a herringbone pattern on top. The underside of the leaves is reddish, which she will show you every evening after sunset. The next morning, she' ll surprise you again with the herringbone pattern! People often confuse it with its cousin, the Calathea. But they are really different, more information can be found on our family page of the Ctenanthe on our PLNTSdoctor page.

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.
