Maranta leuconeura 'red'We love Maranta! They are phototropic which means they move slowly throughout the day to capture light and at night they close upward a bit. This is how it got the nickname of "prayer plant". Care They are easy to care for and prefer bright filtered light, keep out of direct sun. Water every 5 7 days as the top 1 2" of soil drys out. When re potting use an all purpose soil medium. All of our plants are ethically sourced from certified U. S. nurseries.

While it can still climb up surfaces like many other Philodendron

They are a fairly recent cultivar that have small thin leaves

and lava rock

This variety features an usual ribbed texture

Water only when the pot is fully dry roughly every 2 to 3 weeks

They will do best when given a bright light and can even handle some direct sun

They grow prolifically in hanging pots and can quickly can make a Hoya waterfall

This process is called "corking" as the plant sturdies itself in the ground

We do not recommend these if your space is a little darker

They will also like warmer spring and summer conditions to encourage blooming

A well-draining orchid mix or a mix designed for succulents is ideal for this species
