MARANTA RED
Latin Name: Maranta leuconeura var. erythroneura
Description: Commonly known as the Prayer Plant, this vibrant beauty boasts semi-large oval, deep green leaves variegated with a red herringbone-like pattern and light yellow veining. The bottoms of the leaves are a stunning contrasting red. When they are doing well, you may be rewarded with a small, white or pink flower on your maranta, which appears on a long stem over the foliage. Native to the tropical forests of Brazil, this plant likes it humid! A small tray of pebbles and water beneath the pot, or a small humidifier could be beneficial during winter months. Their name 'Prayer Plant' comes from their unique ability to pray! During the day, the leaves lie flat, but at night they move upwards, allowing them to conserve moisture during the nighttime. A truly unique, eye-catching beauty that is both relatively easy to care for, and pet friendly.
Watering: Ensure that the soil is kept consistently moist, but not soggy. Prefers to be root bound and will do best in a well-draining, peaty soil mix.
Growth Rate: Rapid during summer months, slower during the winter
Shape: Mounding
Sun or Shade: Dappled, indirect light. Too much sunlight will cause the leaf colour to fade, and may scorch the plant
Difficulty level: Fairly easy as long as specific needs are met
