Bright, bold, and beautifully patterned, the Maranta ‘Lemon Lime’ is one of the most striking prayer plants you can bring into your home. Its vibrant neon-green veins, deep forest-green leaves, and soft chartreuse accents create a stunning contrast that instantly energizes any space. Each leaf feels hand-painted, making this plant a true showstopper for plant lovers who appreciate vivid color and texture.

Like all Marantas, the ‘Lemon Lime’ moves throughout the day — its leaves spread out in the light and fold upright at night, giving it the nickname “prayer plant.” This natural motion brings a calming, almost meditative feel to your living space or office.

Even better, the Maranta ‘Lemon Lime’ is compact, pet-safe, and perfect for desks, shelves, plant stands, and windowsills. With proper humidity and gentle lighting, it thrives and quickly becomes a lush, full, eye-catching tropical plant.

Bring a pop of tropical color into your home with this lively, low-growing beauty.
