Ctenanthe setosa 'Grey Star' is an elegant houseplant, prized for its dramatic foliage that combines shades of gray, green, and white. With its large, lance-shaped leaves, marked with distinct patterns and often slightly silvery, this plant brings a modern and sophisticated touch to any indoor space.

Origin: Ctenanthe setosa is native to the tropical forests of South America, mainly Brazil. This plant is part of the Marantaceae family, which also includes calatheas and marantas, known for their decorative foliage.

Growth: Ctenanthe setosa 'Grey Star' is a moderate-growing plant that can reach a height of 60 to 90 cm indoors. Its long leaves, which can reach 30 cm in length, are pale green or silvery-grey with dark green veins. The undersides of the leaves are often tinged with purple, adding an interesting contrast. The plant grows into a dense clump, making it an excellent choice for indoor plant arrangements.

Flowers: Indoors, Ctenanthe setosa 'Grey Star' rarely flowers and is inconspicuous. Flowers, when they appear, are small and white or cream in color, but are often hidden beneath dense foliage. The plant is primarily grown for its spectacular foliage rather than its flowers.

Light: This plant prefers bright but indirect light, mimicking the understory conditions of its natural habitat. It tolerates low-light environments well, but bright indirect light will promote more vigorous growth and more intense leaf colors. It is important to protect it from direct sunlight, which can burn its delicate leaves.

Watering: Ctenanthe setosa 'Grey Star' prefers consistently moist but well-drained soil. Water regularly to keep the substrate slightly damp, avoiding letting it dry out completely. In winter, reduce watering while ensuring the plant does not suffer from drought. This plant appreciates high ambient humidity, and a mist sprayer or humidifier can be beneficial.

Substrate: Use a well-draining potting soil rich in organic matter, such as a tropical plant mix. Adding perlite can improve drainage, which is essential to avoid problems related to excess moisture.

Toxicity: Ctenanthe setosa 'Grey Star' is not considered toxic to humans or pets, making it a safe choice for homes with children or pets.
