Ctenanthe burle-marxii Houseplant Care - 122 of 365

- Quite a while ago I did a whole prayer plant care video (back in Ep 31): • Prayer Plant (Marantac... , so this was just one of many plants that could be classified as "prayer plants" in the Marantaceae family. I find Ctenanthe to be far more resilient than most Calathea or Goeppertia, for instance, and I think make a great houseplant and therefore sweeps in at #122 of "365 Days of Plants".
In this video I'll cover where it's native to, how it grows, where it grows, and best conditions for lighting, watering, fertilizing and more.
You can check out more of these videos here and on my IGTV @homesteadbrooklyn.

This my favorite plant!
All the beauty of calathea without all the drama! 😂 Definitely my personal favorite Marantaceae. I find they will love you big time if you provide a humidity tray or pebble tray. Also, if you're a plant parent that likes to move your plants around a lot use caution because sudden upward spikes in light make this plant very grouchy and it will curl & fade on you.
@John Decou I do not have a problem with fungus gnats in general. This is mainly for three reasons: First and foremost not overwatering my growing medium. Second, I do not a use peat based growing medium. I use coco coir in my mix instead of peat. Lastly, when using a humidity tray I never allow the water to touch the bottom of the pot.
You are so right. I always know it's upset with something I've done cuz it starts to curl it's leaves! This one doesn't like to move!
You probably dont care at all but does anyone know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account?
I was stupid forgot the account password. I love any tips you can give me!
@Turner Corey instablaster :)
@Brysen Nico Thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and I'm in the hacking process atm.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
My dad has had one for 25 years and it's always had about 10 leaves on it. I've been plant sitting it for a couple of months and I changed to using rain water and misting it daily. It started to sweat salt initially so I flushed the soil through and repotted it and now it's putting out new leaves every day. After soaking my tillandsia in rain water I drop the pot in the tub to soak and it seems to love that.
🙏💚🙏🏽
A real Plant Parent
Blessed Be🌿
@@Cristobels-Green-Boots Haha thanks. That plant is now filling three large pots with a few smaller ones starting to fill out as well. I can't believe how fast it grows.
In my country Brazil, when Burle Max was born, we call this plant frog's belly. Wonderful video, thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much Summer, I really really enjoyed watching talk to us all. I found it very very interesting and so useful too. I have 3-4 Calathea’s and I love ❤❤❤❤ them. I have subscribed and given you a thumbs up too
T H A N K Y O U for this videooooo!!! I've been waiting for someone to post about this plant for a hot minute!!
Yes!! This is my favourite plant because she grows and grows and has never had any issues with brown tips or anything. Definitely recommend this one for anyone starting out with prayer plants!
Such a fine specimen👌🏻👌🏻
Oooh! this one is on my wish list, I have 5 plants that are in the prayer plant family, I think it's fascinating the way the leaves fold up, and the deep purple under leaf color. I have found that they do like more moist soil and humidity, so far the ones I have are happy. Thank you again Summer, see you again tomorrow.
Lovely plant.
I got one of these babies today!! Thank youuuuu!
Thanks for sharing this video 😃 nice information
What a name!
Mine actually had spider mites when I brought them home. I stupidly didn't inspect the plant before bringing it home, it looked healthy and I was excited to find such a love pot for so cheap! I never had spider mites before in any of my house plants. I maintain "good" bugs in my house to treat any pests in my houseplants. However, the spider mites disappeared pretty quickly, surprisingly, as I have heard that they are the worst pests to get rid of!
Ornatas are my favorite. They grow here in the wild typically under the big trees in marshier soil... Philippines
I love it😍
I've been obsessed with Calatheas. That one is easier to take care of in my opinion.
I smile so much taking care of this plant. Then I move on to my Calathea brats and the smile is gone! 😆
Mine is thriving although i was scared it would die. they indeed need a lot of humidity. I give it distilled water (reused from my dehumidifier) 2 times a week and i spray it daily. It is in the darkest corner of my room and is doing very well. it is not growing towards light so I guess it is okay.
Hello Summer! Thx for the great video! I've got a Ctenanthe by myself since around four years or longer... I wasn't really interested into proper care back then... I watered her about once a month or less because I was afraid to overwater it. But it never died because of starvation 😱😱😱
I love begonia and fern, please review every species of them... 😍
Thank you.
Here after I got this for Rs 120 today. That's roughly $1.5. As always, Summer has a video for every plant I get. Thanks!!
Absolutely great plant. Great video
Mine is in front of an east facing window that's blocked by the neighboring house. It's also in just above a vent. I water mine once a week, sometimes once every two weeks. Remarkably, it is by far my healthiest plant. It's inexplicable. I have five marantacea in my bathroom with high humidity, water them, mist them, use a dechlorinator in the water... they're not as nice. It's mindboggling. Maybe i got a heartier strain, who knows. I'm not giving up on my marantacara yet! My zebrina is doing well (though not as well as this guy) and its just stunning.
I have a fabulous water filter system. I have been misting mine with the filtered water. They seem to be healthy.
Great video. We one one that didn't make it. Think we might try again.
Girl, my MIL let hers grow into 1 long strand. I have the individual leaves, with nodes sprouting roots. I hope mine turn out as pretty as yours
Thanks
❤
Ctenanthe is my very favorite, I have the "golden mosaic" one always mislabeled as Peacock plant at Lowes...last onw I got from Lowe's died. Online I keep reading Ctenanthe golden mosaic requires bright light?
Gorgeous plant....I have a question about the cuttings you have of your plants , are you willing to share some? Thanks
Not finicky? This damn plant was beautiful last summer. Brought it indoors and it had a whole tantrum! It went from full and lush to skeletal. I was devastated! She still alive and beginning to produce really small new growth. Humidity is when it decided to throw a fit. I'm praying that I can get her back to her full self.
Thanks for this video! Love prayer plants but they can be sooo finicky.
I have a Ctenanthe amagris and I noticed recently that new leaves are a bit brighter than usual (almost lime colored) green, and not the usual medium dark green. I can't figure out if the plant is getting too much sunlight or not enough. Right now, I have it about 10 feet from a north facing window. Any recommendations?? Thanks!
How do I get mine to be full like yours? It’s quite spacious at the moment and isn’t as luscious. Any tips?
I boil water in teapot let sit for couple days water all my plants like that even prayer plants
Can anyone tell me if I should cut off the flowers that develop? Mine has quite a lot of flower spikes and I’ve heard that the leaves will look better if the flowers are cut off. I don’t want to kill it as it looks relatively healthy at the moment. Help!
Thank you for an informative video! I just bought my first ctenanthe, and it already had some burning along the sides of the leaves. Hopefully watering with rain water will help.😊 Do you think it'll like a bathroom with no windows but sifficient lighting?
Hey i just moved mine in the bathroom and i noticed the leaves started to uncurl.
I got mine as a sale item, it looked a little sad with brown leaves. It is growing surprisingly fast but rather awkwardly, almost like it's spilling out of the nursery pot. I am scared to re-pot it since it's still recovering from neglect.
👍👍
It’s currently winter from where I am and my ctenanthe is just being too moody!! 😔 it’s still alive but i had to move in my bathroom
Could anyone tell me if water from my fish tank would be good for my prayer plant given it’s been treated with tap water conditioner? Or if the fish waste in the water would be too much for it could I simply treat the water with tap water conidtioner that removes chlorine and such as well as heavy metals? I recently bought a red maranta and want it to like me😅😂
Hey, I may be extremely late but do someone know why is there some brown spots on the leaves at 0:20 ? I have exactly the same spots on some of my calathea s and I wanted to know why.
I have one like this, but bigger and the leaves of my plant are tilting down its been 2 weeks, when I water it they tilt even more. Do I water it to much ?(1/week or so)
I am having trouble identifying whether I have a Ctenanthe like this one or a Stromanthe Amabilis...was wondering if anyone here would be able to tell me the difference between the two? My plant looks like both of them!
I was so stupid… I forgot that my burle-marxii existed and it didn’t get any water for a long time… ugh…. She is alive but she is also dead (like curled up). I really hope she will survive
I heard this plant doesnt like lime and unfortunately I live in a hard water area which means I cant give mine tap water. Luckily mine gets water from my tetra/shrimp fish tank which it seems to love so thats my tip if you happen to have a fishtank eco system already in your home.
I have one ,was afraid to overwater,it sits under a plant light
Help pls, mine is causing trouble 😩
Suddenly the leaves were curling up even though I sprayed, kept it from direct sunlight, used distilled water etc. So I divided the plant, put them all in glasses of water and they recovered. As soon as I put them back in (moist) soil, the curling began again. What’s wrong?
My leaves are drying up and going brown, so I’ve started watering it daily. How can I rescue it,
How can we tell Ctenanthe & Peacock Calathea apart? Pattern on leaves look juat the same.
I would be so happy if you would actually mention how to clean them and how to propagate them :)
Like - can I use neem oil on this plant? How is yours so shinny? And so on ;)
they shoot out babies (look like spikes shooting away from the plant at firat) that you can separate from the mother and repot!
Yikes I need to give them distilled water..great advice
Distilled is best, but the next best thing is filtered water (for example from a filter jug). :)
Is this the same as the peacock plant?
Mine is blooming tiny white flowers. Is that normal?
Burle Max.
R u still in Singapore
I have l twice tried to divide it did not like it almost died I will not divide again
Is this one safe for pets?
