Maranta repens, AKA the Mini Maranta, is possibly the cutest little prayer plant around. Its diminutive leaves are about the size of a silver dollar at their largest, but many leaves are even smaller than that. Leaves are lime green with variable dark spots and stripes depending on growing conditions. If given the space, this plant will creep along the soil, but when grown in a hanging basket will trail by a foot or more.
Care of Maranta repens:
Shade to partial shade, temp 55 degrees, 4-6 inches tall, allow getting slightly dry between watering
Family: Marantaceae
This plant is shipped in a 3.5 - 4 inch pot.
