Garden Goods Direct Red Maranta

Red Maranta has round leaves with green and red striped upper surfaces and an underside of a maroon color. It has an elliptically shaped leaf with white accents. Very interesting foliage to say the least.

The prayer plant looks like it’s been painted, and likes to dry out between watering. While it is tolerant of wet roots, it prefers not to be that way. The foliage will fade or burn if exposed to excessive light. The foliage is both cat and dog safe, according to the ASPCA Plant Toxicity List. This family of plants is known for its bright, intense foliage as it performs well indoors and holds its color without much light or care. It does especially well in low-light areas.
