Marantha Hanging
Phytosanitary Certificate
Common Name : PRAYER PLANT
Botanical Name : Maranta leuconeura var. kerchoveana
Family Name : Marantaceae
It is difficult to believe that the intricately decorated foliage of this spectacular plant has not been painted by human hands. The oval-shaped leaves feature pale and dark green feathered patterns and red veins on the surface, while the undersides are dark red. To add to its charms, the foliage folds up as if in prayer at night, and unfolds at dawn

ADDITIONAL CARE
If you notice a tip or edge burn often with a yellowish hue at the edge, especially on older leaves, it could be due to your tap water. To solve this, allow your tap water to stand overnight before watering so the chlorine and fluoride can evaporate. Remove any yellow leaves to keep your plant strong and growing. Do not use any shine products on the leaves, instead, clean leaves occasionally with a damp cloth
