Position & Lighting
Ctenanthe are herbaceous ground cover plants related to Stromanthes and Calatheas. They prefer a warm position with medium filtered to soft light. Fading leaves or those losing their pattern indicates they are getting too much light. Keep them away from cooling/heating sources as they are very sensitive to drafts and sudden temperature fluctuations.
Watering
Water regularly in the warmer months. In summer, keep the soil moist but not sodden. Over watering can lead to fungal issues or root rot.
Humidity
Ctenanthe thrive in humid environments.
Fertiliser
Feed with liquid fertiliser fortnightly over the warm, growing period.
Extra Tips
Wipe the leaves with a soft damp cloth to remove dust. Prune off any damaged or dying leaves using a sharp pair of scissors or secateurs.
Toxicity
Ctenanthes may cause individual allergic reactions.
