Maranta 'Brevifolia-halcyon' care

Maranta 'Brevifolia-halcyon' is a forgiving choice for most rooms, developing a trailing habit within its first year.

It does best in bright indirect light, though it tolerates brief departures without sulking. It prefers to be watered sparingly, letting the pot dry almost through, and it will forgive a missed week far better than a doubled one.

Keep it at a humid corner or grouped planting; pot it in a chunky aroid mix and refresh the top layer each spring. Propagation is straightforward from stem cuttings rooted in water.
