{"product_id":"maranta-leuconeura-tricolor","title":"Maranta leuconeura 'Tricolor'","description":"The maranta ( \u003cem\u003eMaranta leuconeura\u003c\/em\u003e ) is a member of the arrowroot family (Marantaceae) that grows naturally on the east coast of Brazil. The forest there is known as the \"Atlantic Rainforest\" and is a subtropical vegetation type with abundant rainfall and a relatively mild climate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cem\u003eM. leuconeura\u003c\/em\u003e 'Tricolor' has attractive, multicolored leaves. This variety has red to pink veins and multicolored green leaves. It grows from an underground rhizome, which serves as a water and nutrient reservoir. It grows to about 20 cm tall, but its creeping growth habit allows it to reach up to 60 cm in length, making it very suitable for hanging baskets.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThere are many cultivated varieties of \u003cem\u003eMaranta leuconeura\u003c\/em\u003e , often given Latin-sounding names (e.g., \"tricolor,\" \"fascinator,\" or \"amabilis\"). None of these names are part of the botanical name; they are merely trade names. Subspecies are also not recognized (according to current literature) and are simply synonyms. A list of synonyms is available \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.plantsoftheworldonline.org\/taxon\/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:797361-1#synonyms\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Arrowroot plants are also called \"prayer plants\" in English because of the movement of their leaves, which they fold upwards at night, like hands in prayer. Generally, the leaves of Maranteceae move relatively quickly and frequently, so these movements (which almost all plants exhibit) are much more noticeable in Maranteceae. This makes them appear truly alive!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Jungle Leaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56318998348153,"sku":"Mar001-12","price":9.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0951\/8389\/6953\/files\/IMG07875.jpg?v=1764907137","url":"https:\/\/www.jungle-leaves.de\/en\/products\/maranta-leuconeura-tricolor","provider":"Jungle Leaves","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
