Frequently Asked Questions
Why do the leaves move throughout the day?
Maranta Beauty Kim is a "prayer plant" that naturally moves its leaves in response to light changes. Leaves fold upward at night and open during the day - this fascinating movement is completely normal and shows your plant is healthy and responsive to its environment.
How do I maintain the creamy yellow variegation?
To keep the variegation vibrant, provide bright indirect light, maintain high humidity, and remove any fully green leaves immediately. Variegated plants need more light than solid green varieties to maintain their beautiful coloring.
Is Beauty Kim harder to care for than regular Marantas?
Beauty Kim requires slightly more attention than standard green Marantas, particularly regarding light and humidity levels to maintain variegation. However, it's still quite manageable for intermediate plant parents who follow consistent care routines.
Is this plant safe for pets?
Yes! Maranta Beauty Kim is non-toxic to cats and dogs, making it a perfect choice for pet-loving households who want to enjoy its stunning creamy yellow variegated foliage without safety concerns.
Will the variegation fade or disappear over time?
With proper care - adequate bright indirect light, consistent humidity, and prompt removal of solid green growth - the creamy yellow variegation will remain stable and vibrant. Poor light conditions can cause reversion to solid green.
