This is a variation on the 'Tricolor' in which the red veins have been swapped for striking pale yellow\/green and it is a great look, as the deep, velvety green in the centre contrasts neatly with the bright green and pale yellow variegation. As a Prayer Plant, this clever species' leaves will raise and lower to greet the sun and maximise light exposure. Unlike other types of variegation, Maranta variegation is consistent across the whole plant, meaning each leaf will get the same pattern because it is coded into its genes. Choose this variety for its stunning colours and watch it overflow your pot and reach for the sun!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScientific Name\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaranta leuconeura var. erythroneura (Maranta's white string plant, variety: red string) 'Lemon Lime'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLemon Lime Prayer Plant, Lemon Prayer Plant, Prayer Plant, Lemon Lime Maranta\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNative to Central and Eastern Brazil\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGive this plant bright, indirect light throughout spring and summer; it will appreciate a splash or morning or evening sun in autumn and winter.
