Red Maranta is a red-veined evergreen plant, which is perfectly looks on the windowsill even in a small space. Red Maranta got its name from the fact that its leaves stay flat during the day, then fold up like praying hands at night. The leaves will grow almost in horizontal position if the conditions are suitable for growing, but otherwise it will turn the leaves up as if it prays. And it is considered as well that this houseplant can protect the house from the negative energy and disputes. It is easy-to-grow evergreen houseplant, unpretentious to any growing conditions, well known for its ability to filter the indoor air, which improves mood and removes stress after hard working day. It grows best in bright spots with no direct sunlight. It can tolerate partial shade as well. Water the plant with approximately 1 glass of room temperature water when the top few inches of soil seem to be on drier side to the touch (about once a week depending on the growing conditions). Don’t let the plant sit in soggy soil. Red Maranta is shipped in 4” pot. The plant prefers high level of air humidity. Red Maranta must be watered systematically, and moistened with a sprayer. It doesn’t stand drafts, which have negative effect on the plant. Feed the plant with mineral or organic fertilizer for vine plants during growing season once in two-three weeks. The height of the plant shipped varies from 12” to 14” which is measured from the bottom of the pot to the very top of the plant. The width of the plant is between 8” to 10”. The repotting of the plant is made once in a few years in the early spring, since the soil can lose all its useful properties during this time. The pot should be just a little bigger than the previous one. Your plant may look little different from the advertised; however, be assured, we handpicked our plants to meet your expectations.
