Growth & Nutrients: Clumping growth, up to 20cm. Suits apartments or homes of any size. Flowers in early summer with small lilac & white blooms. Feed with a general-purpose fertiliser for containers from the start of spring each year to autumn when growth slows down.

Temperature, Humidity & Ambient requirements: Prefers warm, humid environments inside. Humidity is essential in successfully growing Maranta. In winter these may die back or slow their growth down completely. Move to a brighter position to maintain the plant if it is in a low light area.
