Ctenanthe 'Brevifolia-opaline' care

Ctenanthe 'Brevifolia-opaline' rewards a patient owner: it grows as an upright clump and asks mostly to be left alone.

Position it in morning sun with afternoon shade and rotate the pot monthly for even growth. Water little and often, keeping the mix barely moist. Yellowing lower leaves almost always mean too much, not too little.

Aim for average room humidity and use a chunky aroid mix — roots here want air as much as water. Propagation is straightforward from stem cuttings rooted in water.
