Maranta Leuconeura 'Lemon Lime'

Maranta Leuconeura 'Lemon Lime', is a very sought-after houseplant among collectors, which is still rarely found on the market. That is why it is much more expensive than Maranta Leuconeura Fascinator 'Tricolor' with pink stripes.

Marantas are also called prayer plants, because their leaves stretch up in the evening when there is less light, and open again in daylight. When they grow, the leaves hang down, but the plant does not grow too long.

Maranta Leuconeura 'Lemon Lime' is also characterized by a special leaf structure and coloration. The roundish leaves, which are colored in a rich dark green, are crossed by thick bright yellow-green leaf veins. This is how the plant got its colloquial name 'Lemon Lime'. It is perfect for hanging baskets and can be easily propagated.
