Description
Ctenanthe Burle-Marxii ‘Amabilis’ in White Navi Pot
Compact, detailed and full of personality, the Ctenanthe burle-marxii ‘Amabilis’ is a true foliage showstopper.
Its elongated mint-green leaves are decorated with bold, dark green markings that resemble a hand-painted herringbone pattern. Beneath each leaf, deep burgundy-purple tones add another layer of colour and contrast.
This plant is paired with our 17cm white Navi Pot, a distinctive decorative planter with a rough, heavily textured surface inspired by natural stone. Its irregular, tactile finish gives the pot a sculptural quality, while the crisp white colour allows the patterned foliage to remain the main attraction.
Together, the plant and pot create a refined indoor plant combination that feels artistic, modern and slightly organic. It is ideal for styling on a console table, desk, shelf, bedside table or bathroom vanity.
As part of the Marantaceae family, the Ctenanthe is related to Prayer Plants and Calatheas. Its leaves naturally adjust position throughout the day in response to changing light.

Plant Care
Light:
Place in bright, indirect light. Avoid strong direct sunlight, which may scorch or fade the leaves.
Water:
Keep the potting mix lightly moist, but never waterlogged. Allow the upper layer of soil to begin drying before watering again.
Humidity:
This tropical plant appreciates warmth and increased humidity. Kitchens and bathrooms with suitable light can work especially well.
Extra tip:
Ctenanthes can be sensitive to minerals in tap water. Rainwater or filtered water may help prevent brown leaf edges.
