    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Ctenanthe setosa ‘Grey Star’ is a lovely foliage houseplant with elliptical leaves growing in an upright clump on thin, tall stems. The leaves are a majestic silver color, with silvery-green veining and gorgeous, red wine undersides. Never Never Plants prefers an evenly moist, aerated soil mix and a humid environment. Placing a humidifier or pebble tray with water near the plant will help with this. Bright, indirect light is ideal, avoiding direct, scorching sun rays. Some light is needed to keep this plant compact and to avoid stretching. Protect from frost!
