Ctenanthe Compact Star – Silver & Green Herringbone Prayer Plant – Never Never Plant

Add Elegant Movement and Metallic Color to Your Home

The Ctenanthe Compact Star, commonly known as the Never-Never Plant or Fishbone Prayer Plant, is a mesmerizing addition to any indoor garden. A close relative of the Maranta and Calathea families, this botanical treasure is part of the ‘Prayer Plant’ group, known for its unique nyctinastic movement where leaves gracefully fold upwards as evening falls.
