Maranta Red

Maranta plants are prayer-plants known for their ability to open and close their leaves. Most varieties open their leaves in the morning, and close them at night. This specific variety is pet-friendly and has striking bright green foliage with red markings.Red Maranta  looks lovely in a floor planter or in a hanging basket.

This plant is tolerable of lower light conditions, but thrives in medium indirect light. Water your Maranta when the top 1-2 inches of soil becomes dry. If your leaves start to curl, that means the plant is thirsty and could use some humidity! Mist the leaves or place the plant in a tray of damp pebbles for that tropical feel.
