So this Maranta leuconeura ‘silver band’ had a little surprise for me: a few of its newest leaves have a purple blush! To be honest, I wasn’t planning on keeping this plant much longer as it has a thrips infestation and leaves have been yellowing and falling off to the point of becoming too ugly to spark joy (this is what I call the Subjective Lifespan). But seeing these new purple leaves has given me a newfound appreciation of this plant. I’ll double up my efforts to get rid of the thrips: I finally got my hands on some neem oil so I’ll give that a try! I’m also going to get some new care ideas from the Maranta episode of @bloomandgrowradio 🌿🎧💚
