Maranta 'Lemon Lime' is a vibrant cultivar of the Prayer Plant known for its striking chartreuse (lemon-lime) veining against lush green leaves. It's a low-growing, tropical houseplant prized for both its decorative foliage and its unique ability to fold its leaves upward at night—just like it's "praying."
Foliage: Soft, oval leaves with a velvety texture. The upper surface is light green with bright yellow-green (lemon-lime) veining, creating a dramatic, almost neon effect.
Underside: Often a muted green or light burgundy.
Growth Habit: Compact, clumping, and spreading—ideal for desktops, hanging planters, or terrariums.
Movement: Foliage rises and folds at night, then relaxes and spreads during the day.
This plant thrives when treated like its native rainforest environment: warm, humid, and shaded.
Bright, indirect light is best.
Avoid direct sunlight—it can fade or scorch the leaves.
Tolerates low light, but vibrant coloring may dull.
Keep the soil consistently moist, but never soggy.
Water when the top 1 inch of soil feels dry.
Use filtered, rain, or distilled water to prevent tip browning due to minerals or chlorine.
Temperature: 65–80°F (18–27°C)
