Our range of Ctenanthe, also named Never never plant, indoor plants prized for their spectacular and sculptural foliage. Ctenanthe setosa is a tropical species native to South America with large, veined foliage that thrives in filtered light and the humid atmosphere of a bathroom. Ctenanthe burle-marxii, often called the "sleeper plant," is one of the most well-known varieties. Its elliptical leaves are adorned with light green and dark green chevron patterns, creating a unique visual effect. Ctenanthe setosa ‘Grey Star’ stands out with its large silver leaves with dark green veins, perfect for adding a bright and exotic touch to your interior. Ctenanthe oppenheimiana is charming with its bushy habit and long leaves with purple undersides.
These plants thrive in filtered to indirect light and a humid environment, ideal for less sunny rooms like bathrooms. Plant them in a light potting mix and ensure the soil remains slightly moist without excess water. A mister can help recreate their original tropical climate.
