Ctenanthe lubbersiana 'Golden Mosaic' is a variegated Marantaceae houseplant with elongated green leaves streaked and splashed with yellow to golden cream. It grows from rhizomes into an upright clump, so the colour is carried on arching leaves rather than trailing stems. Bright indirect light, warmth, elevated humidity and an airy moisture-retentive mix are the main indoor requirements. Soft water can reduce edge marks on sensitive leaves. The irregular golden pattern changes from leaf to leaf, giving mature plants a varied, layered look.
