# He friends. My Lemon Lime Maranta has been struggling for awhile due…

_Geplaatst door Farah op 2023-08-07_

He friends. My Lemon Lime Maranta has been struggling for awhile due to a bad run in with thwips. I’ve been trying to treat it, but it really hasn’t been going well. Today I noticed that some flowers bloomed. They’re very pretty, but I know some plants only flower when they are stressed. Is this normal, or a sign of distress?

Thanks guys!

It really could be both. Plants bloom when they’re happy and when they’re stressed.  
If you see her thriving, then the blooms mean it’s happy. If you see her struggling, then they mean it’s stressed.
