Origin
The Ctenanthe pilosa 'Golden Mosaic' is a special plant in the Marantaceae family. This plant originates from the rainforests of Brazil. The local population of this area has been using this plant for centuries because of its striking beauty and unique characteristics.

Characteristics
The Ctenanthe pilosa 'Golden Mosaic' is characterised by its large, full leaves which display a striking mosaic of green and yellow tones. These leaves grow from the central stem and form a dense crown. Additionally, the plant grows rather slowly, making it ideal for people who do not have time for fast growers. At maturity, this plant can produce cylindrical flowers in the shadowy hues of red and purple.

Care
Caring for the Ctenanthe pilosa 'Golden Mosaic' requires a specific approach due to its tropical origin. This species clearly prefers a shady environment, although it also appreciates some indirect sunlight. Humidity is also a key factor, and it is therefore recommended to regularly spray the plant with lukewarm water. When it comes to watering, it's important to prevent the roots from standing in water, as this can cause root rot. Regular fertilisation during the growing season is also necessary for optimal growth.
