The Maranta Lemon Lime (Maranta leuconeura 'Lemon Lime') is a striking, pet-safe tropical houseplant renowned for its deep green leaves, contrasting lime-green veins, and rhythmic "prayer plant" habit of folding its leaves upright at night.
Care Instructions
Light: Thrives in bright
to medium indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which will scorch the delicate foliage and cause leaves to curl up in defense.
Water: Keep the soil evenly moist but never waterlogged. Allow the top inch to dry out before watering again. Always use room-temperature, filtered, or distilled water, as they are sensitive to harsh minerals in tap water.
Humidity: Requires high humidity (50-60%). Use a humidifier, group with other plants, or place the pot on a pebble tray filled with water to prevent crispy brown leaf edges.
Soil: Plant in a loose, well-draining, peat-based potting mix
