Ctenanthe 'Velutina-viridis' care

Collectors know Ctenanthe 'Velutina-viridis' for its steady pace; it keeps a trailing habit even in imperfect corners.

It does best in low to medium light, though it tolerates brief departures without sulking. Water weekly in summer and fortnightly in winter; the fastest way to lose one is a saucer left full.

It is happiest at 55% humidity or higher, potted in a free-draining cactus-leaning mix. It responds visibly to a monthly feed through the growing season.
