Houseplant Size Guide
At Houseplant.co.uk, we want to ensure that you choose the perfect plant for your space. Here's how we measure our plants:
Plant Height:
Measured from the base of the nursery pot to the top of the plant, including the full length of the stem and foliage.
Pot Size:
Refers to the total width across the top of the pot.
Choosing the Right Size
To find the perfect fit, compare the diameter of your plant's grow pot to the opening diameter of your chosen decorative pot. Ensure the decorative pot is at least 1-3cm larger in diameter than the grow pot for easy insertion and removal.
Important Notes
- Plant sizes are approximate and include the depth of the plant pot and roots, not just the height from the top of the soil.
- If a specific plant size is not available, we may provide a larger plant at no additional cost to you.

Learn More About Prayer Plant Lemon Lime
Collapsible content
What is the Prayer Plant Lemon Lime Known For?
The Prayer Plant Lemon Lime, officially known as Maranta Leuconeura 'Marisela,' captivates with its striking lime-green leaves adorned with darker green markings. Its leaves fold upwards during the evening, resembling a posture of prayer, which is how it got its common name. This unique feature, along with its vivid foliage, adds an interactive and colourful touch to any indoor space.
What Is the History of the Prayer Plant Lemon Lime?
The Prayer Plant family, Maranta, is native to tropical regions of Brazil and was named after Bartolomeo Maranta, a 16th-century Italian botanist. The Lemon Lime variant is a cultivar that was developed to produce brighter, more striking foliage. It has gained significant attention in recent years for its vivid leaves and unique nyctinastic movements (leaf folding).
Where Does the Prayer Plant Lemon Lime Originate?
The original Maranta species, from which the Prayer Plant Lemon Lime cultivar was developed, is indigenous to the Brazilian rainforest. The tropical conditions there provide a clue to the plant's preferred environment: warm, humid, and shielded from direct sunlight.
How Do You Care for a Prayer Plant Lemon Lime?
The Prayer Plant Lemon Lime thrives in moderate to bright, indirect light, and appreciates high humidity. To achieve optimal growth, water the plant when the soil surface starts to dry, using room-temperature water. Overwatering should be avoided, as it can lead to root rot. For nutrition, use a balanced liquid fertiliser every four to six weeks during the growing season.
Are Prayer Plant Lemon Lime Toxic to Pets?
While the Prayer Plant Lemon Lime is non-toxic to pets, it's always wise to exercise caution. Some pets may experience mild stomach upset if they chew on the leaves. As a best practice, it's advisable to keep houseplants out of reach of pets that are prone to nibbling on foliage.

Prayer Plant | Lemon Lime | Rare Plant ordered with other itemsCling film secured?!!
Received 3 plants in a box, too tightly packed in cling film so that the leaves of one plant were completely splayed and the other 2 were squashed into pots which were too small for the plants and secured with tightly packed cling film.?!!? I bought these 3 on the strength of previously buying a Yucca for myself and one as a birthday present for someone else. They were well packaged and in wonderful condition, healthy plants that are growing beautifully. Unfortunately the packaging of these 3 was over zealous with more thought going into squeezing them into a small space rather than the health of the plants. Have reported all 3 and given them some TLC. We'll see if they thrive in the future or completely fail. Watch this space!

Great service. Initially the plant pot I ordered wasn't available and I promptly received an email from customer services to let me know of the issue and their recommended replacement. It looks great, same with the plants and all the packaging was top quality. Both plants are looking strong and healthy in their new homes. I would highly recommend houseplant.co.uk to anyone.

Excellent all round. Website is very informative, and easy to use, I especially like that it advises you which plants are pet friendly, and gives a comprehensive guide on care for the plant. I was kept informed of the delivery process and times, plants arrived on time which was great because they were given as a gift. Fantastic company to deal with and I would highly recommend them, I will definitely be using them again in the future.

Packing is always very good, plants are always the finest quality, The only way you could improve the service, is to provide a descriptive Label with the plants, I always label my plants on arrival, it would be so better to have a nicely printed one.

Ordered 3 plants here. Previous experiences have been excellent. 2 of the 3 ordered were in less than desirable condition. On one of them, all but one of the stems had broken off. It has since died. On another the plant took up absolutely no space in the pot at all. It’s as if they were out of stock of the size I requested so they put a baby one in a larger pot with extra soil. Such a shame.
