Goeppertia roseopicta, formerly sold as Calathea roseopicta, is a clump-forming evergreen perennial from the Amazon basin, grown mainly as a houseplant for its painted foliage. Its key to success is steady humidity and filtered light, and it dislikes dry air and cold.
Goeppertia roseopicta is a species of flowering plant in the arrowroot and prayer-plant family Marantaceae, native to northwestern Brazil's Amazonian basin. It is marketed as a houseplant under its former name and synonym
Certain cultivars available in the plant trade often feature very dark-green to blackish or purple-mauve leaves with a range of pinks, reds and whites, often with little to no green tones. Common varietals include Goeppertia roseopicta 'Dottie', 'Rosy', among others.
