Ctenanthe burle-marxii, also known as the Fishbone Prayer Plant, is a striking houseplant with unique, patterned leaves. Its long, oval foliage features dark green stripes on a lighter green background, resembling fishbones. Like other prayer plants, its leaves move throughout the day, folding up at night. Native to Brazil, this plant thrives in warm, humid conditions, making it a great choice for bathrooms or kitchens.
Caring for Ctenanthe burle-marxii is simple with the right conditions. It prefers bright, indirect light and consistently moist but not soggy soil. Regular misting or a humidity tray helps keep its leaves healthy and vibrant. Avoid direct sun, which can scorch the foliage, and use filtered water to prevent leaf browning. With a little attention, this plant will reward you with lush, decorative foliage year-round.
