It features broad, oval leaves that emerge bright green with distinct pale pinkish-white bands extending from the midribs. As the leaves age, they transition to a darker green and display a purple hue on their undersides. In summer, this plant may produce white flowers on spikes, although they are not consistently present.

Goeppertia consists of evergreen, rhizomatous perennials that develop clumps of elliptical leaves, often featuring distinctive patterns. In cultivated settings, they rarely produce racemes of small, tubular flowers. This genus was formerly classified under Calathea.
