fishbone prayer plant 20cm
The Ctenanthe Amagris originates from tropical Central and South America. It's also called Fishbone Prayer plant and it's related to the Calathea and the Marantacae plants. This is reflected in the typical green and light green leaves, which have a purple underside.
The plant is very mobile. During the day you see the variegated leaf, and in the evening this leaf folds over. We also call it the prayer plant, because the new leaves appear folded and unfold and unroll. This beautiful transformation makes this Ctenanthe Amagris of 20cm extra special.
