How to fertilize Maranta Arundinacea
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Maranta Arundinacea after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

I found my plant shop oasis 20 minutes from my house. I never knew it was there!! They had an indoor plant section inside and a whole big greenhouse of outside plants. Needless to say, I perused BOTH and I found some goodies!! This gal is one of my favorites I found!! I have had a red prayer plant on my wishlist for a while and the price was right, so she came home with me! I may post a few other finds that were discovered there tonight as well. 😁 #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #planttherapy #calatheacrew #calathea #redprayerplant #prayerplant #greggang #greggers

What's up with the water spots on my red prayer plant? I am using distilled or rainwater in my nearby humidifier & to water. Could it be from before I got her? I just brought her home recently. Or is it something other than that? Thank you for any input! ☺️ #greggerssupportinggreggers #gregfeedback #greggang #greggers #redprayerplant #calatheacrew #calathea #maranta

How do I exorcise Regan the Red Prayer Plant? What possessed me to buy her? #Seymour Hi All So I like to rescue sick plants but I think Regan might be possessed.🤢🤒 She looked very sick and dry 😫🤒🤢. I wasn't sure but she was on clearance and looked like a demon was possessing her.🤢👿 Even a yellow leaf 🙀😫😥 I want to raise her from her bed 🛌 but without any green goo 🤮! So I need to perform some form of exorcism ➕️ to rid the current sick demon 😈 that is possessing her. Any advice or hints would be appreciated for such a sick plant, if the spirit possesses you to do so. I want to compel the demon spirit to leave her 🗣, I am praying 🙏 over her to get her better. I may need to call a Father🤵♂️to sprinkle some 💧 on her and make her well again. Can you answer my prayers 🙏 for my red prayer plant🌱😈? #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #plantmafia #planttherapy #redprayerplant #prayerplant #happyplants #newplants #newplantmom #greggang #plantlove #seymour
