Marantaceae

Care at a glance

Water
Keep soil consistently moist but never soggy; allow the top inch to dry out slightly between waterings. Use distilled or rainwater to avoid leaf tip burn from tap water chemicals.
Light
Provide bright, indirect light; direct sunlight will scorch the leaves and fade their vibrant patterns.
Humidity
Requires high humidity, ideally above 60%.
Temperature
Maintain temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C).
Soil
Use a well-draining, peat-based potting mix.
Fertilizer
Fertilize monthly during spring and summer with a diluted liquid fertilizer.
Toxicity
Non-toxic to humans and pets.
Propagation
Propagate by division during repotting, ensuring each section has roots and at least one leaf shoot.
