A perennial herb in the genus Goeppertia, native to southern Brazil. Plant height 30~50cm with underground rhizomes. Petiole long, leaf oblong, 10-20cm long and 8-10cm wide. Leaf color light green and translucent with dark green fine net veins. The oval-shaped variegated stripes on the lateral veins form feather-like patterns. Leaf margin slightly undulated. Same variegated pattern occurs on the both sides of the leaf, but the underside is brown. Spike, with green bracts and white flowers.

半日照溫暖且高濕度環境，乾燥容易造成葉緣損傷焦黃。使用排水良好且富含有機質的培養土種植，不耐旱，介質略乾或觀察葉片萎軟就澆水。春至秋每季施用一次長效性綜合肥料。繁殖使用分株法。注意紅蜘蛛危害。

The plant prefers a partial-sun, warm and highly moist environment. Not drought-tolerant, drought may cause the leaf margin damaged and browning. Well-drained culture soil rich in organic matter is preferred, water once the soil surface starts to dry or the leaves show signs of wilting. Apply a slow-release compound fertilizer once every season from spring to autumn. Propagated by division. Pay attention to the hazard of spider mites.

具有明亮的葉色斑紋，耐陰性強，常單植於室內觀賞，或作為遮蔭場域的地被植物用。葉片有明顯睡眠運動，夜晚會豎直。葉片可剪下作為切葉用於花藝設計。

With bright variegated foliage and high tolerance to shade, it’s often planted alone as a houseplant, or as a ground cover in shady areas. The plant has a unique feature which they fold upward at night. The fresh-cut leaves can be used for flower arrangement.
