The Maranta Silver Band have striking green and silver leaves, making a great contrast. They also are part of the prayer plant family, meaning their leaves fold up at night. like praying hands, then fold back down in the morning to catch the sun.
Where do I come from?
Marantas are native to Central and South America, mainly in the jungles of Brazil.
Light
They prefer bright indirect light to partial shade, with no prolonged exposure to direct sun.
Water
They need to be watered regularly and don’t like to dry out between waterings, so keep soil slightly moist.
Humidity
They love humidity so place it in a watered pebbled tray or place containers of water around your plants which can increase the moisture in the air. It will also benefit from regular misting.
The bathroom can also be a great spot.
