Maranta leuconeura 'Lemon Lime'

The Maranta 'Lemon Lime' is a stunning indoor plant prized for its vibrant, patterned foliage. Its oval-shaped leaves feature a bright green background, adorned with light green veins and a soft, feather-like design. This striking contrast adds a lively touch to any indoor space.

Reaching a height of 30-40 cm (12-16 inches), it remains compact, making it perfect for desks, shelves, or smaller living areas. A unique feature of this plant is its 'praying' behaviour, where the leaves fold upwards at night, adding an intriguing element to its character.

To thrive, the Maranta 'Lemon Lime' requires bright, indirect light, high humidity, and consistently moist but well-draining soil. Regular misting can help replicate its natural tropical environment. With the right care, it makes a delightful addition to any plant collection.
