4" Maranta Arundinacea Variegated

Maranta arundinacea ‘Variegated’ (Variegated Arrowroot)
With soft green leaves streaked with creamy white, this rare variegated form of arrowroot is a gentle showstopper. Unlike its more famous prayer plant cousins, this Maranta grows in soft clumps and has a subtle, calming look. It's both ornamental and functional—arrowroot is traditionally grown for its edible tubers, though this version is more often admired for its foliage.

Care Tips:
☀️ Light: Bright, indirect light—too much sun can fade the variegation
💧 Water: Keep soil lightly moist; don’t let it dry out completely
🌫 Humidity: Loves high humidity—mist regularly or group with other plants
🐾 Pet Friendly: Yes

Fun Fact: While commonly grown for looks, the species is also a source of arrowroot starch, used in cooking and baking for centuries.
