Care Instructions:
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Can tolerate lower light but may develop less variegation if kept too dark. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but never soggy. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Use filtered or distilled water if possible to avoid leaf spotting.
Humidity: Loves high humidity (60–80%). Mist regularly, use a pebble tray, or keep near a humidifier for best results.
Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 18°C–27°C. Protect from cold drafts and sudden drops in temperature.
Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter. Potting soil mixed with perlite or sand works well.
Fertilizer: Feed once a month in spring and summer with a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer diluted to half strength.
Pruning: Remove any yellow or damaged leaves at the base to encourage fresh growth and maintain a tidy look.
Repotting: Repot every 1–2 years or when root-bound. Refresh the soil during repotting to keep the plant healthy.
Pro Tip: Ctenanthe 'Golden Mosaic' thrives with consistent care and high humidity. For the brightest leaf patterns, keep it in a warm, humid spot away from direct sun.
