The Lemon Lime Prayer Plant, also known as Maranta leuconeura 'Lemon Lime', is a stunning tropical plant known for its vibrant foliage and unique leaf patterns. Here’s a detailed care guide to help you grow and maintain this beautiful plant.

Light Requirements

This plant thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.

Watering

Keep the soil moist but not soggy. Water the plant when the top inch of soil feels dry. In winter, reduce watering frequency.

Humidity

The Lemon Lime Prayer Plant enjoys high humidity. Aim for a humidity level of 50-70%, and mist the leaves regularly or use a humidifier.

Temperature

Maintain a temperature range of 65-80°F (18-27°C). Protect the plant from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.

Soil

Use a well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter. A peat-based soil or a mix designed for houseplants works well.

Fertilizing

• Fertilize every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).
• Use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength.

Repotting

Repot every 1-2 years or when the plant outgrows its pot. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one.

Pests and Problems

Watch for pests such as spider mites, aphids, and mealybugs. If detected, treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil.

Propagation

Propagate your Lemon Lime Prayer Plant through division or stem cuttings. Ensure each cutting has a few leaves for better success.

With proper care and attention, the Lemon Lime Prayer Plant can be a vibrant addition to your indoor garden. Enjoy its unique beauty and keep it thriving!
