Ctenanthe lubbersiana ‘Golden Mosaic’

Hailing from Brazil, the evergreen perennial Golden Mosaic is revered for the strikingly beautiful gold and cream variegations on its large, oval leaves. It belongs to the Marantaceae family, known as ‘Prayer Plants’, which much like humans and unlike most plants, have a wake-and-sleep cycle according to a circadian rhythm. This means the leaves move upwards during the night and downwards throughout the day in search of the sun.

Light: Golden Mosaic grows best in a well-lit space, and can adapt to direct morning light as well. Avoid placing it in spaces with low light or without natural light.

Watering: Water your plant regularly during the growing season and always keep the soil moist but never allow your plant to sit in water. During the winter season, reduce watering and you can allow the topsoil to become slightly dry between each watering.

Toxicity: Golden Mosaic is non-toxic and safe for humans and animals alike.
