Maranta "Kerchoviana"
The prayer plant “Kerchoviana,” also called the rabbit’s foot plant, is a popular variety of Maranta Leuconeura. These common houseplants have light grayish green leaves with dark splotches (which resemble rabbit tracks) between the veins. The underside of the leaves is a shade of silvery blue. Like other varieties of Maranta, Kerchoviana prayer plants roll up their leaves at night as if praying. As houseplants, Marantas are primarily grown for their attractive foliage. The rabbit’s foot prayer plant does produce inconspicuous flowers, when grown indoors.
Basic Care
These plants prefer bright indirect light and can survive shady conditions. They also do well when grown under fluorescent lighting.
Keep the plant moist at all times but avoid soggy soil. Empty the drainage saucer after watering to avoid root rot and use lukewarm water. Avoid hard water or tap water containing fluoride.
Growing Kerchoviana indoors is often too dry of an environment for this tropical species. To increase humidity, place the planter on a tray of wet pebbles or mist frequently.
What you get
