Red Maranta Care Tips:

1. Light:

Thrives in bright, indirect light but can also tolerate lower light conditions. Avoid direct sun, which may scorch its delicate foliage.

2. Soil:

Use a well-draining mix made from coco coir, perlite, and orchid bark to support root health and prevent waterlogging.

3. Watering:

Keep the soil consistently moist but never soggy. Water when the top inch feels dry, and reduce watering in the winter.

4. Humidity:

Loves high humidity. Mist regularly or use a pebble tray or humidifier to maintain optimal moisture in the air.

5. Temperature:

Prefers temperatures between 65–80°F (18–27°C). Protect from drafts and cold temperatures.

6. Fertilizer:

Feed every 4–6 weeks during the growing season with a gentle, diluted houseplant fertilizer.

7. Growth Habit:

Naturally low-growing and spreading, making it perfect for hanging baskets, shelves, or tabletop displays.

8. Pet Safety:

Non-toxic to cats and dogs, making it a great choice for pet-friendly households.
