Insights
Native to Costa Rica and Nicaraqua, Maranta’s sprawl along the forest floor, and therefore love a warm, humid environment. With this in mind, it is recommended that you increase humidity by either using pebble trays underneath your pots, grouping plants close together, or using a humidifier.

Care
West or East facing windowsills are ideal for your Maranta, or even a spot a short distance from a very sunny window. Each time you water (ensuring you check how damp the soil is first), rotate your plant to help it to grow evenly. This particular plant is notably sensitive to hard water, so filtered water is recommended to ensure optimum health and growth.
