How to take care the Ctenanthe Setosa(Never Never Plant)
Light:
It thrives best in bright, indirect light. Will tolerate some degree of shade, however, insufficient light may cause loss of variegation in the leaves. If there is too much light, the colors in the leaves fade.
Soil:
It grows best in a well-drained, peat based, indoor potting soil.
Temperature:
It prefers normal temperatures between 60 degrees Fahrenheit β 80 degrees Fahrenheit, avoid temperatures below 12 degrees Celsius / 55 degrees Fahrenheit. Lower temperatures can damage the leaves of a Never Never Plant.
Water:
Water your plant regularly during the growing season and always keep the soil moist but never allow your plant to sit in water.
Propagation:
It can be easily propagated by division of rooted offshoots or by cuttings.
Humidity:
High humidity is very important for these plants. If the air is dry, place your Ctenanthe on a pebble tray filled with water. Be sure the plant is sitting on the pebbles and not in the water.
Re-potting:
Re-pot once every 2 years, just in a somewhat bigger pot if the roots have consumed all the space with the present pot.
Pests and Diseases:
It has no serious pest and disease problems. Watch for Mealy Bugs, Spider mites, and Aphids. Treat spider mites with insecticidal soap.
