{"product_id":"never-never-plant-ctenanthe-burle-marxii","title":"Never Never Plant - Ctenanthe burle marxii","description":"\u003cp\u003eCtenanthe burle marxii, the Never Never Plant, is one of the most elegant and visually captivating foliage plants available for indoor and tropical garden settings. The oval-shaped leaves display a striking pattern of alternating light and dark green stripes across the upper surface, while the undersides reveal a rich dark purple that becomes increasingly visible as the leaves move and tilt through the day. As evening approaches and the leaves fold upward in their characteristic nyctinastic movement, the purple undersides become the dominant colour, creating a plant that genuinely changes its appearance from morning to night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrowing to approximately 15 to 30cm tall and 30 to 60cm wide with a clumping upright habit, 'burle marxii' is a compact and refined foliage plant that works beautifully as a feature specimen on a patio, in a courtyard, or as a striking indoor plant in a bright humid position. The leaves are held on greenish-purple hairy stems that add further textural interest, and the overall effect is one of quiet tropical sophistication that complements both contemporary and lush tropical interior and garden designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCtenanthe burle marxii requires high humidity, consistent moisture, and protection from frost and cold winds to perform at its best. It thrives in semi shade with good indirect light, in well-drained soil or a quality indoor potting mix. Keep moist during dry periods, feed with a liquid fertiliser through the growing season and an annual slow-release fertiliser, and mulch well outdoors. Watch for snails and slugs on outdoor plants. A genuinely rewarding foliage plant for those who appreciate bold, patterned tropical leaves with a dynamic quality that changes through the day.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Plant Nest","offers":[{"title":"12cm","offer_id":46504634613921,"sku":"Never Never Plant - Ctenanthe burle marxii - 12cm","price":14.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"17cm","offer_id":46504634646689,"sku":"Never Never Plant - Ctenanthe burle marxii","price":28.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20cm","offer_id":46504634679457,"sku":"Never Never Plant - Ctenanthe burle marxii - 20cm","price":37.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"25cm","offer_id":46504634712225,"sku":"Never Never Plant - Ctenanthe burle marxii - 25cm","price":70.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0663\/9711\/0433\/files\/2_800c6b29-2ea4-4e56-a957-0401897d8dce.png?v=1780558102","url":"https:\/\/www.plantnest.com.au\/products\/never-never-plant-ctenanthe-burle-marxii","provider":"Plant Nest | Trees, Hedging Plants \u0026 Garden Inspiration","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
