Sun Requirements ▾
Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light levels.
Avoid direct sun, which may fade or scorch the foliage.
Best near east- or north-facing windows, or filtered light from a sheer curtain.
Watering Instructions ▾
Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry.
Keep soil consistently moist, but never soggy.
Use distilled or rainwater if possible—Ctenanthe is sensitive to fluoride and salts in tap water.
Care Tips ▾
Soil:
Grows best in a rich, well-draining potting mix.
A blend of peat or coco coir, perlite, and pine bark is ideal.
Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot.
Fertilizer:
Feed every 4–6 weeks during the growing season (spring to early fall) with a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer.
Do not over-fertilize, as it can lead to leaf tip burn or discoloration.
Humidity:
Thrives in high humidity (50–70%).
Use a humidifier, mist frequently, or place the pot on a pebble tray with water.
Brown edges or crispy tips usually indicate low humidity.
