Ctenanthe Setosa 200mm

Ctenanthe Setosa, often sold as ‘Grey Star’, is a striking tropical foliage plant admired for its soft silver-green leaves marked with deep green feathering. The real magic happens underneath — rich purple undersides create beautiful contrast and movement as the leaves gently respond to changing light throughout the day.

With its upright growth and bold patterned foliage, Ctenanthe Setosa makes a sophisticated statement indoors or in sheltered outdoor areas. It adds instant texture and a relaxed, resort-style feel to living rooms, offices, or shaded patios.

This plant is part of the prayer plant family, meaning its leaves subtly lift and lower between day and night — a fascinating feature that brings life and character to your space.

Tip: To keep the foliage looking lush and vibrant, use filtered or rainwater where possible and avoid letting the soil dry out completely. If leaf edges begin to brown, it’s often a sign the air is too dry — increasing humidity will make a noticeable difference.
