Maranta leuconeura 'Lemon Lime' Monstera A relatively easy calatheaThis is it, folks: my number 1 most commented on, photographed, and asked about plant in my home is the easy to grow and pet safe Maranta 'Lemon Lime.' This plant has two important requests: 1) don't burn it with sun and 2) try to use room temperature water, and preferably even distilled water. If you can do 1 and maybe even 1 + 2 you will be rewarded with a low maintanence masterpiece!
