The Ctenanthe prefers medium to low-light. Too much direct light will lead to drooping or burnt leaves. Keep it away from hot west-facing windows.
Water twice a week, keeping the soil slightly moist, but never soaked. Too much water will cause roots to rot. If you're unsure rather let the top 1cm of soil dry out between watering. Reduce watering in winter! Ctenanthe love warmth & humidity, so spritz regularly or place near a humidifier. Brown leaf tips are a sign that the air is too dry.
Feed monthly in summer with an organic fertiliser at half dose.
It's best to do this every year to prevent the soil from becoming too compact. Re-pot in spring with a well draining potting mix, or our Hemp Super Soil with added peat and perlite. Do not pack the soil tightly around the roots - keep it loose.
Ctenanthe prefer humid conditions like those found in their jungle home. Read our tips on raising humidity levels for houseplants for best results.
In the wild, these plants produce white tubular flowers.
