Goeppertia fucata 'Magnifica'

A selected cultivar of Goeppertia fucata, a compact prayer plant from the tropical forests of South America. Leaves are broadly ovate with a pronounced herringbone venation pattern, smooth texture, and deep reddish-purple petioles that contrast sharply with the foliage.

• Light: Low to bright indirect light with 50–70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which fades the leaf pattern and causes scorching.
• Temperature: 62–82°F (17–28°C); thrives as an intermediate to warm grower with stable, humid conditions.
• Humidity: 70–90%; high humidity is essential for maintaining leaf texture and preventing edge browning.
• Watering: Keep substrate evenly moist; water when the surface begins to dry and never allow the roots to sit in standing water.
• Growth Habit: Low-growing, clumping rosette with upright to spreading leaves on slender reddish petioles; produces small white flowers at maturity and is ideal for terrariums, shaded shelves, or humid indoor settings.
