Maranta Leuconeura var. Kerchoveana
Maranta leuconeura var. kerchoveana is an easy-going "Prayer Plant" whose leaves are characterized by unique patterning. When they emerge, the leaves are bright green with patches of deep burgundy. But as the leaves harden off, the burgundy turns to dark green, and the leaves themselves become lovely shade of sage. Like most members of the Marantaceae family, Maranta leuconeura var. kerchoveana's leaves are highly reactive to light and will fold upwards at night. The plant has a trailing habit, and will eventually cascade over the sides of its pot, capping out around 12-18". We love the soft, feathery look of its foliage.
