Maranta 'Lemon Lime'

Vivid, cheerful, and endlessly fascinating — the Maranta 'Lemon Lime' is a prayer plant dressed in the most refreshing palette of lime green, bright yellow-green, and deep green that seems almost painted on its oval leaves. Like all Marantas, it performs a gentle daily ritual — folding its leaves upward toward the sky at night and opening them wide each morning, earning it the beloved nickname 'Prayer Plant.' This movement never gets old, and the Lemon Lime's vivid colors make the daily unfurling particularly spectacular. A joyful, lively plant that brings movement and color to any room.

• Daily Prayer Movement — Leaves fold up at night and open each morning in a mesmerizing living display.
• Low Light Tolerant — Thrives in conditions too dim for most colorful tropicals.
• Pet-Friendly — Non-toxic to cats and dogs. 🐾
• Compact & Desk-Perfect — Low-growing habit suits shelves, desks, and tabletops beautifully.
