Hello plant friends!

I repotted this lemon lime maranta from its nursing pot to this ceramic pot with drainage about 2 months ago. It kind of freaked out so I gave it time. I lost one leaf and it went droopy, but there’s all kind of new growth, even blooming.

You’ll notice there’s some browning on the leaves, I thought maybe it was crisping from the sun, so I moved it to partial sun, and haven’t seen more browning. But I’ve read that it loves full sun, so I’m not sure. It likes to be damp, so I water once a week to 10 days, but maybe I’m over watering….any advice??

I think the new growth looks great \& it’s flowering!

Interestingly same thing happened to me with the type of pot. I’ve noticed my prayers really prefer to live in plastic with drainage… not a preference to me but they do much better!

Also I wouldn’t say they like full sun. Dappled

Okay good to know!! I’ll move to a plastic pot, and see if it does better…thank you!!

I wouldn’t! They have sensitive roots and from what you described and what this photo shows, it struggled with the stress of the last repot and has now adjusted and looks great! I wouldn’t change a thing 😊
