Maranta leuconeura ‘Lemon & Lime’ | Striking Prayer Plant | Bold Chartreuse Patterning

Maranta leuconeura ‘lemon & lime’ is a striking cultivar of the popular prayer plant, beloved for its vivid, contrasting foliage. Each leaf displays deep green hues highlighted by bright chartreuse veining and feathered lime patterns, creating a dramatic look that enhances any indoor space. As part of the marantaceae family, it is also known for its fascinating nyctinastic behaviour—the leaves fold upward in the evening and lower again in daylight, mimicking a plant at prayer

This compact, slow-spreading species is ideal for tabletops, shelf décor, or grouped with other tropicals in a lush indoor jungle. Its low-growing, trailing habit makes it suitable for hanging planters or cascading over pots, while its non-toxic nature makes it safe for pet-friendly homes.

Maranta ‘lemon & lime’ thrives in a humid environment with filtered, indirect light and regular moisture. It responds well to consistent care and is especially rewarding for those who enjoy tending to foliage-focused plants.
