Lemon lime maranta is my favorite plant! How do you keep the leaves so vibrant. Mine always get crispy

Hii 👋🏻

This was actually one of my first plants and browning tips was one of my concerns. Although I there are 1-2 crispy tips, thankfully I’ve managed to keep it fairly under control. This is what has worked for me….

1\. Unlike others, I don’t give this plant much direct sunlight. It actually is in my living room that has low light and that has worked for both. (I tried taking it to my bedroom a couple times where it would get more sun and I realized some leaves got sunburnt, so I avoid that now)

2\. I don’t have a set watering schedule and I try my best to read the plant. I would say I water anywhere from 8-10 days. I follow the 2 inch top dry soil and never let it completely dry.

3\. I also fertilize it every 4-6 weeks. I’m in LA so it’s currently spring out here.

4\. For soil, I did regular indoor potting mix with extra perlite.

Hope this works 🫶🏻

Thank you! I have grow lights in my house, and normally I would put them there. But this time I tried to put it on my coffee table so hopefully that will help.

Hope that works out! 🤞🏻

I was fixing to ask the same question. I need tips.
