About this plant
Ctenanthe burle-marxii, also known as the Fishbone Prayer Plant, is a striking foliage houseplant admired for its unique patterned leaves. Its oval, silvery-green foliage is beautifully marked with herringbone-like dark green stripes, giving it a fishbone appearance. At night, the leaves gently fold upwards in a ‘prayer-like’ motion, adding a sense of movement and life to your space. Compact and elegant, it brings a tropical feel to homes and thrives in warm, humid environments. Perfect for adding texture and pattern to shelves, desks, or plant displays.
