Maranta Silver Band

A special and rare member of the Marantaceae family with beautiful silver leaves, then you are referring to the Maranta Silver band. It is not easy to get hold of, but once you have got hold of her, she is fairly easy to look after and can grow quickly! How great is that? She has a special leaf pattern: a silver coloured core that runs in thin stripes to the outer edge of the leaf. She is considered a 'prayer plant', because her leaves close at night, as if she is praying. Of course it grows like a creeper, but it also looks great in a hanging pot!
