Maranta leuconeura \u2018Lemon Lime\u2019 is a perennial plant prized for its decorative foliage: each leaf has a vibrant pattern with lime-toned veins on a green background, creating a beautiful contrast. The leaves have a velvety texture and citrus-green, almost fluorescent tones that make this plant so ornamental and desirable for interior d\u00e9cor. These colours will stay all year round as long as you give it the light it needs (spaces with plenty of indirect\/filtered light). This plant moves its leaves through nyctinasty, opening them during the day and closing them at night. Make sure watering is moderate, ensuring the soil remains slightly moist in the top layer but never waterlogged, and watch out for stagnant water in saucers or decorative pots without drainage holes. After watering, ensure that drained water doesn’t sit to prevent root rot or drowning the plant.<\/p>\n

Common names<\/strong>: Maranta Lemon Lime, Prayer plant
Family<\/strong>: Marantaceae<\/em>
Origin:<\/strong> Central and South America
Climate<\/strong>: Tropical \/ subtropical
Category<\/strong>: Indoor plant
Approximate height<\/strong>: 25-30cm
Pot diameter<\/strong>: 12cm<\/p>\n
Light<\/strong>: Requires abundant indirect light. Direct sun is not recommended and can burn the leaves. On the other hand, low light reduces the contrast of its colors and part of the plant’s beauty will be compromised.
Temperature<\/strong>: Thrives best between 18 \u00b0C and 27 \u00b0C.
Watering<\/strong>: The substrate should be kept slightly moist only at the top between waterings, as they don’t tolerate dryness. But they also don’t tolerate waterlogging (watch out for standing water in saucers or decorative pots without drainage holes). A good technique is to water when the first 2 cm are dry to the touch.
Humidity<\/strong>: Given its origin, this is a plant that appreciates high humidity levels (65-85%) so it shouldn’t be in environments with heating\/cooling systems (they dry the air), and you can use a humidifier, trays with pebbles and water, or group it with other plants to create a microclimate and increase the relative humidity in your home.
Fertilization<\/strong>: Fertilize once a month during spring and summer with balanced fertilizer. Reduce or suspend in winter.
Pruning<\/strong>: Remove dry or damaged leaves to promote new growth and maintain aesthetics.
Life cycle<\/strong>: Perennial, when kept in an indoor environment.
Soil<\/strong>: Light, well-draining substrate, rich in organic matter.
Pet Friendly<\/strong>: Safe for pets.<\/p>\n
