Well it's still the beginning stages so I'm happy you found the flat mites before the situation got out of control. Regardless, the comeback on your marantas is thus far outstanding. I think the only marantas that I have that you don't are the cristata-grizzle & the maranta no ID/cats moustache.

The Maranta Kerchoveana "rabbit tracks" is a stunning plant. One of my all time favs - I just love the dark reddish-brown tracks next to the green that change colours. Gorgeous plant.

I loved this video because I am obsessed with marantas. Yours are so big and bushy, I don't know how you do it. Mine are like that and then they get leggy and I have to cut them like every month to keep them compact. I keep most of my marantas in pon. Let me tell you, nobody loves anything more then marantas love pon. They absolutely thrive in it. My favourite maranta is light veins because it exploded in pon and is now giving me huge leaves

Also a great way to check for flat mites is to rub a damp (or even dry if it's real bad) tissue across the leaf undersides (sometimes tops). If u get a rusty residue you've got em. They spread so easily you have to eradicate them fully or they just pop back up again!

If u ever get flat mites again try Mighty by NPK Industries (used to be Mighty Wash). It actually works on a whole host of insects. A dude at a hydro shop recommended it to my dad. He said it's really popular w/ pot growers bc it's like 98%? 99% water so it's safe for consumable plants. NOTHING ever worked on flat mites before it. They are INSIDIOUS! Wiped half of my orchid collection! But def do 2-3 applications 5-7 days apart to get new hatchlings bc the 1st time I only did 1 app and they came back 2 years later. Follow instructions (u have to apply before dark).

Found a small maranta at a big box store the other day and got excited to give it a try. It was root bound so I slightly potted it up. Any tips on how “separated” each plant/stem should be in the pot? Like spacing? The one I bought feels kinda squished but I didn’t want to mess with it too much bc I would have totally ruined all the roots. Maybe I’m just over thinking it and just need to let it sit and figure out it’s life in it’s new home lol

What am I doing wrong? I brought home a beautiful silky and silvery maranta last week and the leaves are either floppy or crusty or just look unwell. At first I kept the plant in a high humid, high temperature room (not too high temps tho) and gave it indirect light that was filtered thru curtains. Nope. Then I took it downstairs where it gets both shade and light but only moderate amount of light. Now some of the leaves have closed completely and it looks even worse. I repotted it as it was rootbound but that also had no effect

Here are a couple to think about adding to your collection: Maranta Leuconeura Kim Maranta Leuconeura Mini Prayer I blame you for my current maranta obsession ;). I have seven varieties now. I’ve been putting them straight into PON and the only one that has thrown a fit is the mini. I bought another mini yesterday and it’s going to go into PON via the long method. They’re super cute. I love the silver vein and the black but need to wait for prices to come down some more. I’ll find them eventually! Do any of the predatory mites kill flat mites?!

@plantsbymelissa Жыл бұрын

Thank you for the suggestions!! Writing those down 😝 I haven’t thought about pon for marantas! I might try one 🤭 some predatory mites can attack them and I heard cucumeris mites can but not sure exactly which ones. I have californicus now but not sure how they do with flat mites.
