Ctenanthe Burle-Marxii, aka Fishbone Prayer Plant, is a species of plant in the genus Ctenanthe native to Brazil. Its common name derives from its bright green leaves are striped with alternating lance-shaped bands, and have deep purple undersides and stems. Ctenanthe (along with their close relatives Calatheas and Marantas) are commonly called "Prayer Plants" because their habit of opening and closing its leaves as day transitions to night. Its leaves are a stunning reminder of the beauty of the natural world.

They do not need to see the sun directly. But filtered sunlight through glass is fine. Keep them away from intense direct sun.
They thrive in medium to bright light, but can tolerate low light. A good medium-light place in your home would be in the middle of a room that has a regular size window. They can be placed anywhere between the middle of the room and the window.
Allow the soil to dry out halfway before watering. Typically when you see the surface of the soil is dry, it's safe to give them a water.
They like a high humidity environment, give them a mist regularly. Alternatively, you can put them around a humidifier. It doesn't mean they'll die if they don't get enough humidity, they may get some crunch edges or yellow rims if they don't have enough humidity but will survive.
Keep guarded from direct sun and mist periodically to increase humidity around the plant and keep its leaves lush. Set on a pebble tray to add extra humidity and keep leaves from crisping.
The plant comes with a default nursery pot. Washable Paper Planter Bags are sold separately.
