Okay, so originally it was my mother's plant, but it was in bad shape, so as a last resort I decided to take a cutting from a healthy part and root it in water. In less than a week it already had roots. At first I wanted to replant it, but it's doing so well here, growing new leaves, that I'm going to leave it here. It must be about a month since it's been there
Hi there ! I’m new on Reddit, and I had a question regarding a recent acquisition.
I recently bought this maranta for my bioactive terrariums, and even though it is listed as « maranta leuconeura » it doesn’t look like any of the other marantas I currently have. After doing a bit of research, I can’t find any plant having this kind of coloration / pattern.
Do you have any idea about what plant this is?
Leaves curling and yellowing, flowering but flowers wilting before fully blooming. What is happening?
It has chunky soil, watering with fertilizer and water conditioner when top cms of soil is dry, under grow light, air humidity is usually 60-70%.
It was thriving, I moved it couple days ago, is that the reason?
I have had this Maranta for about a year and a half and she’s exploded. I’m worried there is too much pressure on her vines hanging down from the pot. I know these plants like being snug in their pots and I don’t want to change too much since she seems so happy. Should I repot or wait?
I went out specifically to pick up this prayer plant, and honestly, it was a steal at $10. I was genuinely shocked at how beautiful it was when I actually got it in my hands. It’s absolute perfection sitting on my entryway ledge.
Naturally, though, the person I bought it from asked, "Do you want this too?" holding up an Alocasia, and for five bucks, I couldn't say no.
Now I'm officially curating a growing family of prayer plants and Alocasias. (It’s only been the last couple weeks as I moved plants in and out of the house that I actually have a focus like that)
This newcomer Alocasias is currently doing a dramatic horizontal balancing act while it adjusts to relocation, and it’s hanging out in strict quarantine camp under an LED light for the next couple of weeks just in case it brought home any uninvited hitchhikers from the outdoors.
The new prayer plant is close enough to get some of that LED light across the entryway but not close enough to share bugs if there are any.
Roast me for my lack of plant restraint accordingly. 😂
Bonjour !
J'ai une maranta leuconeura depuis avril et j'ai énormément de mal à la gérer. Je voyais bien qu'elle n'était pas bien et j'ai vu que les racines sortaient du petit pot dans lequel je l'ai achetée.
J'ai vu qu'il fallait la remporter dans ces moments là donc je l'ai mise dans un pot + grand et ça me semblait mieux !
Mais là rien à faire les tiges sont super espacées, les feuilles jaunissent et pourtant je l'arrose peu (mais j'ai l'impression que la terre ne sèche jamais je ne sais pas comment la faire sécher ?)
Merci pour vos conseils 🙏
The leaves weren’t curled up to start. It’s been in water for like 2 weeks (I’ve changed the water weekly). No roots have grown. The leaves are doing this. What did I do wrong? I thought I included a node
New one r drying out😪
To low on water ?
Spotted this adorable leaf hiding under all of the other leaves on my maranta silver band 🫶🏼
As title states trying to figure out what’s going on here, both very new leaves seem to have taken some damage, I haven’t spotted any bugs anywhere and plan to rinse it off with some Castile soap soon, another factor I believe could be why this happened was I got new sansi grow light that’s fairly strong when I first set it up I made the mistake of blasting it at full brightness never giving it a chance to adapt
It’s lost all dark colour and the leaves are obviously not very happy. Has been deteriorating since I bought it 3 months It gets like 400-700 lux from a north west facing window, never direct. I don’t let the soil dry out and I use water conditioner and fertilize. My humidity can be anywhere from 20-60% depending on the weather. I’m at a loss and gonna repot it soon in probably a smaller, green pot so I can do away with the algae. Any ideas?
