How to care for your Maranta cristata ‘Intense’ –
Water: Keep the soil consistently moist, watering when the top inch of soil is dry. Avoid letting the plant dry out completely, and ensure the soil is well-draining to prevent root rot.
Light: Provide bright, indirect light to maintain its vibrant leaf coloration. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves, and low light, which may diminish its color intensity.
Humidity: This plant thrives in high humidity levels of 60% to 70%. It does well in terrariums, but in regular indoor conditions, using a humidifier or a pebble tray with water will help maintain adequate moisture.
