A favorite among collectors and design lovers alike, this tropical beauty brings vibrant color and movement to any space—literally!

Try diluted compost tea or liquid seaweed extract every few weeks during the growing season.
3. When should I repot my Lemon Lime Maranta?
Repot every 1–2 years, ideally in spring, when you notice roots poking from the bottom or slowed growth.
4. Can I propagate this plant easily?
Yes! Propagate via division or stem cuttings rooted in water or moist soil. Make sure each cutting has a node.
This plant is the perfect blend of visual drama and tropical charm, with its bold veins, prayerful movement, and pet-safe profile. Whether you’re styling a boho corner or building your prayer plant collection, the Lemon Lime Maranta is a stunning and rewarding plant to grow.
