Care tips:

Light: These plants prefer indirect light. Place near a window with filtered light or in a well-lit room away from direct sun. If the plant begins to look leggy, it may need more sunlight. 

Water: Keep soil slightly moist, allowing the top inch or two of soil to dry out in between waterings. Maranta can be sensitive to hard water, so it is often recommended to use distilled or filtered water. These plants do need higher levels of humidity in order to grow best. If the air is too dry, it is not uncommon to see dry, brown tips on the foliage. Yellow leaves can indicate overwatering, poor drainage, or not enough light. 

Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix when repotting your maranta.
