Maranta & Stromanthe

Both praying mantises , arrowroot and stromanthe, form a lush growth in the wild in the lowest floor of the tropical forest of South and Central America. Arrowroots have beautiful oval leaves with a very wide range of colors and are rather clinging and ground cover plants. While Stromanthe has elongated pointed leaves and grows rather tall.
