About Maranta Lemon Lime:

Maranta Lemon Lime, a captivating and vibrant addition to the Marantaceae family, is celebrated for its striking foliage and unique coloration. This tropical plant boasts broad, lance-shaped leaves adorned with a captivating blend of lemon and lime hues, creating a visually stunning display. The distinct patterns on its leaves, characterized by bold veins and intricate markings, further enhance its aesthetic appeal.

Known for its preference for indirect light and consistently moist soil, the Maranta Lemon Lime is an ideal choice for indoor environments. Beyond its visual allure, this plant has gained popularity for its responsive behaviour, as its leaves tend to fold upward in the evening, resembling hands in prayer, giving it the colloquial name "prayer plant." With its intriguing appearance and relatively easy care requirements, the Maranta Lemon Lime stands out as a delightful choice for plant enthusiasts seeking both beauty and a touch of botanical interactivity in their homes.

Care guidance:

- Provide bright, indirect light, avoiding direct sunlight.
- Maintain consistently moist soil, watering when the top inch is slightly dry.
- Ensure a high humidity environment through misting or a humidity tray.
- Use well-draining, peat-based soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH.
- Keep temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C) and protect from drafts.
- Feed with balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season.
- Trim yellow or damaged leaves and pinch back stems for bushier growth.
- Repot every 1-2 years into a container 1-2 inches larger in diameter.
- Monitor for pests and treat promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
- Note the plant's unique behaviour: leaves folding up at night and responding to light changes.

Delivery expectation:
I do my best to carefully pack and post the cuttings to you, however, please note that the leaves and roots of cutting are delicate, hence, some minor damage may occur during transit.
