Care instructions

- Light: Ctenanthe's thrive in medium to low indirect light. They tolerate shade. Avoid direct sunlight.

- Watering: Keep the soil constantly & evenly moist, but make sure it isn't soggy. Soggy soil might cause roots to rot. When in doubt, let the top 1-2 cm of the soil dry out before watering again.

- Temperature: 17 °C (14 °C at night). Ctenanthe's prefer a warm environment.

- Humidity: This plant requires high humidity, so spray regularly and don't put it close to a heater.
