About This Botanical
Maranta 'Leuconeura'
A prayer plant with oval, deep-green leaves and bold veins. Its leaves fold up at night.
How to care for Maranta leuconeura
- Light: bright, indirect light. Direct sun fades the color and scorches the leaves. Low light slows growth.
- Water: keep the soil evenly moist, never soggy. Water at the surface with room-temperature water, and make sure the pot drains.
- Humidity: humid air helps. A humidifier or a tray of pebbles with water beneath the pot works better than misting.
- Temperature: 65 to 80°F during the day and 60 to 65°F at night. Keep it above 60°F and away from cold drafts.
- Feeding: feed at half strength every two weeks in spring and summer, and not in winter.
