What is the Prayer Plant Lemon Lime Known For?
The Prayer Plant Lemon Lime, officially known as Maranta Leuconeura 'Marisela,' captivates with its striking lime-green leaves adorned with darker green markings. Its leaves fold upwards during the evening, resembling a posture of prayer, which is how it got its common name. This unique feature, along with its vivid foliage, adds an interactive and colourful touch to any indoor space.
What Is the History of the Prayer Plant Lemon Lime?
The Prayer Plant family, Maranta, is native to tropical regions of Brazil and was named after Bartolomeo Maranta, a 16th-century Italian botanist. The Lemon Lime variant is a cultivar that was developed to produce brighter, more striking foliage. It has gained significant attention in recent years for its vivid leaves and unique nyctinastic movements (leaf folding).
Where Does the Prayer Plant Lemon Lime Originate?
The original Maranta species, from which the Prayer Plant Lemon Lime cultivar was developed, is indigenous to the Brazilian rainforest. The tropical conditions there provide a clue to the plant's preferred environment: warm, humid, and shielded from direct sunlight.
How Do You Care for a Prayer Plant Lemon Lime?
The Prayer Plant Lemon Lime thrives in moderate to bright, indirect light, and appreciates high humidity. To achieve optimal growth, water the plant when the soil surface starts to dry, using room-temperature water. Overwatering should be avoided, as it can lead to root rot. For nutrition, use a balanced liquid fertiliser every four to six weeks during the growing season.
Are Prayer Plant Lemon Lime Toxic to Pets?
While the Prayer Plant Lemon Lime is non-toxic to pets, it's always wise to exercise caution. Some pets may experience mild stomach upset if they chew on the leaves. As a best practice, it's advisable to keep houseplants out of reach of pets that are prone to nibbling on foliage.
