Goeppertia roseopicta[2] is a species of flowering plant in the arrowroot and prayer-plant family Marantaceae, native to northwestern Brazil's Amazonian basin.

The typical "wild-type", or "natural" form, has papery, ovate leaves of a pastel, seafoam-green hue, outlined with a dark-green edging and "painted" horizontally from the midribs with darker streaks; typical of other species in its family and genus, G. roseopicta features dark reddish, purplish backsides to its foliage, an evolutionary adaptation to growing in darkened or shaded areas on the forest floor, where adequate light reflection is required for photosynthesis.

Certain varietals and 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.

G. roseopicta is tender, with a minimum temperature of 16 °C (61 °F) required, and in temperate areas is cultivated indoors as a houseplant.

[3] It requires a constant temperature of 18–24 °C (64–75 °F), high humidity levels at all times, and bright indirect light.
