Maranta leuconeura erythroneuro or Red-Veined Prayer Plant, is a small tropical plant with broad oval leaves. The leaves lie horizontal to the ground and are patterned with a herringbone design of pink veins over the light green to olive green leaf blade.
This is very pretty
ReplyDeleteIndeed it is.
ReplyDeleteI have one of these in my home and it seems to be dying..I've been watering daily and it sits in the sun approx. half of the day. Any idea on why I cant keep this thing alive?
ReplyDeleteKari R,
ReplyDeleteHit the plant with indirect sunlight and make sure the soil is just moist or damp. Too much water can actually foster rotting in the roots of this plant. Neglect it a bit more and your little darling should spruce right up.
You have an amazing maranta plant.
ReplyDeleteHow is the plant growing upward. I have one that was in a basket from a funeral with other plants in the basket as well. Over one weekend, it did not get watered and when I came back, it was droopy. It wasn't dead so I watered the plants but now the Maranta plant seems to grow more over the basket like a vine now instead of upward
