Maranta
(Maranta Leuconeura)
Maranta (Maranta Leuconeura)
Indoor
Place in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can fade or scorch its patterned leaves. It can tolerate lower light, but growth may slow and colours may become less vibrant.

Feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer, diluted according to the product instructions. Reduce or stop feeding during autumn and winter.
Marantas love high humidity—ideally 50% or more. Use a humidifier, place the pot on a pebble tray with water, or group it with other plants. Brown, crispy edges often mean the air is too dry.
Keep indoors or outdoors?
Maranta is mainly an indoor plant in Malta. It may stay outdoors only in a warm, shaded and humid protected spot during summer. Keep it out of direct sun, wind and heavy rain, and bring it inside if temperatures fall below 15°C.
