My Ctenanthe Burle Marxii Amagris is not dead. Period! Lived under my care almost 1 month. I have a bleak history with a few dead plants in the maranta family and vowed never to buy another one. A grower sent this for free in a order as compensation for another undelivered plant. I treaded it no better or organ my other plants. It’s on the same 2 inch pot during quarantine. Fed it time released fertilizer. Gave it tap water instead of bottled water. It did not complain or sulk! My research stated it is the chilliest , no fuss maranta you can own! I water twice a week because of the small 2 inch pot. I will repot and reduce watering schedule. Highly recommended! I can’t believe I’m stating that about a maranta!
