CALATHEA CTENANTHE BURLE MARXII AMABILIS

Ctenanthe are related to Maranta, Calathea and Stromanthe. All are known and cherished for their extraordinary decorative foliage and are sometimes called Prayer Plants due to the way the leaves close upwards in a prayer-like fashion in the dark.

The Ctenanthe burle marxii Amabilis has long, oval, grey-green leaves with a stunning fishbone pattern. The Never-Never Plant is also known as Fishbone Prayer Plant and in parts of Europe they are also known as Stromanthe.
