Maranta 'Lemon Lime' — A Burst of Citrus Color in Every Leaf
If you love bold, cheerful foliage, the Maranta 'Lemon Lime' was made for you. This vibrant prayer plant swaps the classic red veins for a striking combination of bright lime green and deep forest green — a fresh, citrusy palette that lights up any shelf, windowsill, or hanging basket it calls home.
Like all Marantas, 'Lemon Lime' performs its quiet daily ritual of folding its leaves upward at dusk and unfurling them again each morning. It’s a living, breathing reminder that your home is full of life — and this one brings the sunshine.

The plant did not arrive in great shape. However, it was an alocasia and I did not add insulation so this is not on the seller (and we all know alocasia does not travel well anddddd they come back)
From start to finish the transaction was amazing. They gave me a discount for my next order even though I didn't ask for one because I knew the risks, and they continued to answer my questions and help me! Will def order again from them and would encourage others to as well!
