Ctenanthe Golden Mosaic, also known as the "Golden Mosaic Prayer Plant," is a stunning and low-maintenance houseplant known for its beautiful, variegated foliage. Here's a summary of its key features and care needs:
Like other "prayer plants," Ctenanthe Golden Mosaic has the unique characteristic of moving its leaves upward in the evening, which is why it's often called a "prayer plant.
The leaves are oval-shaped, with a vibrant mix of dark green and golden-yellow patterns, resembling a mosaic. The undersides of the leaves often have a reddish tint.
It has an upright, bushy growth habit, reaching heights of about 2 to 3 feet (60–90 cm). It can spread out about 1 to 2 feet (30–60 cm) wide.
Ctenanthe Golden Mosaic prefers bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some low light but will grow more slowly and may lose some of its vibrant coloration in darker areas.
It enjoys consistently moist soil but dislikes being waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, and be sure the pot has good drainage. Use lukewarm water to avoid shocking the roots.
This plant thrives in humid conditions.
