Care Plan for Maranta 'Lemon Lime'
Light: Maranta 'Lemon Lime' thrives in medium to bright, indirect light. It can tolerate low light conditions, but its vibrant coloring may become less pronounced. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the delicate leaves.
Watering: This plant prefers consistently moist soil. Water it when the top inch of soil begins to dry out, but be careful not to overwater, as this can lead to root rot. The use of lukewarm water is recommended to avoid shocking the plant.
Humidity: High humidity is ideal for the Maranta 'Lemon Lime', mimicking its native tropical environment. You can increase humidity by misting the leaves regularly, placing it on a pebble tray with water, or using a humidifier.
Temperature: Keep your plant in an environment with temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Avoid drafts and sudden temperature changes, which can stress the plant.
Child and Pet Safety: The Maranta 'Lemon Lime' is non-toxic to both pets and children. This makes it a safe choice for households with curious pets and young children, adding beauty without the worry.
General Tips: Fertilize the Maranta 'Lemon Lime' with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every month during the growing season (spring through early fall). Clean the leaves occasionally with a damp cloth to remove dust and enhance the plant's ability to photosynthesize efficiently.
