Care Guide
Maranta RedTropical forests of Brazil
Plant Care
Thrives in medium to bright indirect light. Not suited for intense, direct sun.
Water every 1-2 weeks, allowing soil to dry out half way down between waterings. Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light. This plant can benefit from extra humidity. Marantas can be sensitive to hard tap water. Try using filtered water or leaving water out overnight before using.
This is a pet friendly plant.
Marantas are nicknamed prayer plants because they exhibit a phenomenon known as nyctinasty. They move their leaves from day to night as a part of their circadian rhythm.
