How to water arrowroot correctly

Maranta reed water is not drought resistant and requires a moist environment.

During the growing season in spring and summer, the plant must be watered once a day.

Water the soil thoroughly, draining any excess water that flows from the bottom of the pot.

Does the flower need pruning

Over the course of a year, the shoots of arrowroot become very elongated, and the bush becomes not entirely attractive.

Therefore, in order for the plant to grow neatly, you need to prune it on time.
