6" Lemon Lime Maranta

Maranta plants, also known as prayer plants, are relatively easy to care for. Here are some simple tips:

1. Light: Marantas prefer bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch their leaves. They thrive in medium to low light conditions.

2. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. They are sensitive to both overwatering and underwatering.

3. Humidity: These plants prefer high humidity. Mist the leaves regularly or place the pot on a humidity tray to maintain moisture levels.

4. Temperature: Marantas prefer temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C). They are sensitive to cold drafts and temperature fluctuations.

5. Soil: Use a well-draining, peat-based potting mix. A mix formulated for African violets or ferns works well.

6. Fertilizing: Feed monthly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength.

7. Pruning: Trim brown or yellow leaves regularly to promote healthy growth.

8. Propagation: Marantas can be propagated by division during repotting or by rooting stem cuttings in water or soil.

By following these care tips, you can keep your Maranta plant healthy and vibrancy.
