Ctenanthe oppenheimiana | Never Never Plant

The Ctenanthe oppenheimiana loves bright, indirect sunlight, but avoid placing it in any direct sunlight when it's at its strongest to prevent leaf burn. They can tolerate some light shade, but their beautiful leaves may lose some of their vibrancy. As they are a type of 'prayer plant' their leaves gently fold up-right when it goes dark. If this doesn't happen, it's a sign they're not getting the light they need, so move them to a brighter position. 

 

Make sure to keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy, always allowing the top couple of inches to dry out in between waterings. 

 

When watering, thoroughly soak the soil until water drains out of the bottom of the pot. Discard any excess water in the saucer or decorative pot to prevent waterlogged roots.

 

It's important to adjust your watering routine based on the time of year and specific environmental conditions like humidity and temperature.
