{"title":"Ctenanthe","description":"\u003cp\u003eCtenanthe suits softer-light rooms that need pattern and movement without a heavy footprint.

Ctenanthe looks best with bright shade, lightly moist airy substrate and steady warmth, and it usually stays at its best when very dry air and very hard water are kept in check.
