The Ctenanthe is a plant that is native to tropical Central and South America. The plant is related to the Calathea, and has the same nice feature that the plant pulls up its leaves in the evening. This means that you can see the nicely striped top of the leaf during the day, and the beautiful purple underside when it gets dark. So don't be alarmed if you hear some rustling in the evening: these are leaves sliding past each other!
