Maranta Silver Band 12cm

🌿 Maranta ‘Silver Band’ Care Guide

Silver Band is all about subtle elegance — soft green foliage marked with a striking silvery band running through the centre of each leaf. It has all the charm and movement of a classic prayer plant, just with a more refined, collector-style look. 🌿✨

☀️ Light

• Thrives in medium to bright, indirect light
• Avoid direct sunlight — it can fade the silver markings and scorch leaves
• Lower light is tolerated, but growth may slow

💧 Water

• Keep soil consistently lightly moist, but not soggy
• Don't allow the soil to fully dry out
• Filtered, distilled, or rainwater is ideal if possible

🌫️ Humidity

• Prefers high humidity (60–80%)
• Dry air can cause crispy edges and curled leaves
• Loves humidifiers, bathrooms, or grouped plant setups

🍽️ Feeding

• Feed every 4–6 weeks during active growth
• Use a diluted balanced liquid fertiliser
• Reduce feeding during cooler months

🌱 Quick Tips

• Leaves naturally rise and fall between day and night 🌙
• Keep away from radiators, cold drafts, and sudden temperature swings
• Stable conditions help maintain perfect foliage
