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 t
