Goeppertia grandis

A large prayer-plant relative from the lowland forests of the Guianas, Trinidad and the northern Amazon, reaching 2 m or more with tall petioles and wide, glossy blue-green leaves. It grows on the shaded forest floor, so it wants low to moderate light, constant warmth, high humidity and evenly moist soil. It needs much more room than most Goeppertia.
