About the plant:
Arrowroot or im aranta comes from the tropical regions of South and Central America and is a slow-growing, low, bushy plant with thin stems and relatively wide and large leaves. In the rainforest, it forms a dense undergrowth, most often in the shade of tall trees. Maranta together with the genera Calathea, Ctenanthe and Stromanthe form a very similar group of so- called prayer plants . They are called so because they always begin to straighten their leaves towards evening, which can resemble hands folded in prayer. In the morning, they delight and open their leaves again.
Maranta leuconeura Kerchoveana variegata is characterized by its green oval leaves with brown spots and yellow-white variegation. In summer, white flowers may appear on the stems or near the leaves of the plant.
