Maranta Fascinator - Herringbone Maranta

Maranta

Commonly known as a prayer plant, the Maranta is native to tropical Central and South America.  They love to trail but can also be grown up a cane. Not only do they have striking leaves but they flower too.

How to care for your Maranta

Water: Watering about once a week and then allowing to dry to about half way down is best. 

Light: Maranta grow best in bright light, but will tolerate shade. If exposed to direct light, their leaves will fade in colour intensity and often develop blotches or patches. 

Humidity: Brown leaf tips indicate that humidity is too low, they love a mist or a bathroom and prefer rain water.

Temperature: They enjoy warmth, about 20 degrees C.
