Ctenanthe 'Nocturne-velutina' care

Ctenanthe 'Nocturne-velutina' is a forgiving choice for most rooms, developing a trailing habit within its first year.

Position it in medium filtered light and rotate the pot monthly for even growth. Water when the leaves just begin to soften. Yellowing lower leaves almost always mean too much, not too little.

Aim for occasional misting in dry rooms and use a chunky aroid mix — roots here want air as much as water. Propagation is straightforward from stem cuttings rooted in water.
