Wanted to share this absolute beast of a maranta! He is always giving me new leaves (that my cat tries to nibble)! Also pardon the mess. Haven’t put away my soil ingredients yet or the boxes!

Omg you guys! Tell me how I can beast mine out, too! My maranta is a jerk and hates me.

Mine is never as beastly as others. I’m trying hard to just not jinx my prayer plants

I just mostly leave it alone. He is about 2 feet away from an east facing window and the humidity in the room stays about 50-60%. Also fallen in love with Fox Farms Ocean Forest. I use a mix of it, orchid bark, and perlite.

😂😂😂 mine too, but a different variety. I actually put mine outside out of direct sunlight because I thought it was a goner, now it’s getting new leaves. 🤔😂🤷🏻‍♀️

Mine was being super picky so I put him in water. He did sprout ONE new leaf and it’s bigger than the rest but I want him to be beastly bushy like yours! Lol
