Maranta leuconeura 'red' hoya They do NOT do wellWe love Maranta! They are phototropic which means they move slowly throughout the day to capture light and at night they close upward a bit. This is how it got the nickname of "prayer plant". Care They are easy to care for and prefer bright filtered light, keep out of direct sun. Water every 5 7 days as the top 1 2" of soil drys out. When re potting use an all purpose soil medium. All of our plants are ethically sourced from certified U. S. nurseries.
