Ctenanthe burle marxii is a slow growing Prayer plant. Its striped leaves have fishbone pattern, dark green on top of the light, gray-green leaves. The undersides of the leaves are maroon coloured.
While many people struggle with keeping their Prayer plants healthy and looking good, the secret is easy: no direct sun light, constantly moist and well aerated growing media, and high humidity. Don’t place it in the south facing window. Make your own soil mix of 1 part bark for orchids, 1 part planting soil, ½ part moss and ½ part perlite. Water when the top layer gets slightly dry, remove the excess water from the pot tray. Preferably use rainwater or let your tap water stand in an open container for a few hours to dechlorinate it. Don’t put your Prayer plants in a draft and preferably use a humidifier or at least mist it once a day.
We ship only healthy plants that were grown in pots. We carefully remove the soil and wrap the roots in damp sterile coconut peat. Then, we gently pack the root ball in a plastic bag. After that, we wrap the plant in special paper and then in a sturdy cardboard box shipped with the shipping option of your choice.
