Maranta 'Lemon Lime'

Lemon Lime Maranta 🍋🌿 is loved for its oval leaves marked with bright lime and deep green patterning, which gives it a fresh, lively look without being too loud. It does best in bright indirect light indoors, where the color stays crisp and it can brighten shelves, desks, and cozy corners away from harsh sun. This plant is generally manageable, but it prefers a little more consistency with moisture and humidity than tougher beginner plants. Pro tip: if the leaves start curling or getting crispy, check for dry soil, dry air, or a spot too close to a vent 💧.
