Maranta roseopicta

Now that's a houseplant worth having!

My neighbour has recently had a new knee operation and she was given this plant from a well wisher. She kills most plants by over loving them and so she gave it to me. It is in a pot with no grainage holes but it looks so good. I have had it six weeks now and I am trying to pluck up the courage to repot it.

Ah! That's lovely Linda. I'm sure it will be even better with drainage!

Btw Linda...I looked this up yesterday and it needs min. 16C, so keep it cosy!

It is on my kitchen window sill Karen. It gets sun in the morning but not too hot in the afternoon. It is a warm moist atmosphere which seems to be best. I just have to repot it. It seems so happy at the moment. I will use the lovely pot for my flower arranging Homebird. :0)

Oh good! I thought. You'd popped it outside to enjoy the sunshine! You must have lovely clean glass! ;)

I took it outside to photograph in the brighter light Karen. No comment about how clean my kitchen windows are. :0)

Lol! :))
