Never Never Plant in nursery pot

As stylish as it is carefree, the Never Never Plant brings the lush beauty and exoticism of Brazil’s tropical forests to any interior with bright, indirect light. Ctenanthe lubbersiana has an upright, clumping form and produces broad, oblong, dark green leaves randomly brushed in stripes of greenish yellow. You can expect plants to grow 2 to 3 feet tall and 3 to 4 feet wide at maturity. Never Never Plant is a member of the Prayer Plant family, and its foliage opens by day and closes like praying hands at night. Previously known as Stromanthe lubbersiana. Shipped in a 6" nursery pot.

Ctenanthe, formerly known as Stromanthe, is a genus of evergreen perennials in the Maranta family from tropical rainforests in Central and South America. Like related Prayer Plants (Calathea) and Maranta species, their elongated leaves, which fold up at night, often display colorful markings. These plants require exceptional humidity and can be temperamental if humidity or light is inadequate. Plants are mildly toxic to pets if ingested.
