Ctenanthe lubbersiana ‘Golden Mosaic’ is a striking tropical foliage plant prized for its bold, variegated leaves. The large, elliptical leaves display a rich green base accented with bright golden-yellow patches, creating a dramatic mosaic-like pattern. The undersides of the leaves are a deep purple, providing a beautiful contrast when the foliage moves with the slightest breeze. This plant grows in a clumping, upright habit, making it a visually appealing addition to any indoor plant collection or shaded garden space. Its lush foliage adds texture and a tropical flair, and it thrives in environments that mimic its native rainforest understory. (Pot sold separately)
