Goeppertia insignis prefers indirect sunlight.[4] These plants want well-drained, but moist, soil.[4] They like a pH of 6.1 to 7.3.[5] The plant requires a minimum temperature of 16 °C (61 °F), and it is commonly used as a houseplant in temperate regions.

The bottom side of the leaves are purple, with the adaxial surface having what look like dark green alternating large and small leaflets overlaid on the light green leaf.[6] Like other prayer plants, its leaves fold together at night, and unfold again in the morning.[7]
