Ctenanthe burle-marxii 'Amagris'

The Ctenanthe burle-marxii 'Amagris' is a show-stopping addition to your indoor garden that brings a soft, silvery-green elegance to any room. You will love how this compact member of the prayer plant family features delicate, dark green pinstripes and rich purple undersides, with leaves that actually fold upward in the evening as if settling in for the night. Growing to a tidy 12 to 15 inches tall and wide, it is the perfect size for a bright desktop, a cozy reading nook, or a side table. Best of all, you can enjoy its mesmerizing foliage without a worry in the world, as this striking plant is completely non-toxic and pet-safe for your curious cats and dogs.

To keep your 'Amagris' showing off its best colors, set it in a spot that receives bright, indirect sunlight, such as near an east-facing window. Too much direct sun will quickly scorch those beautiful leaves, while too little light causes the distinct pinstripes to fade. Because it originates from the tropical understory, this plant loves consistent moisture and a bit of extra humidity. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, ensuring excellent drainage so the roots never sit in standing water. By maintaining this steady, gentle care routine, you will cultivate a thriving, dynamic houseplant that adds a daily touch of living movement to your home.
