Maranta leuconeura 'Silver Band' ('Exclusive Grey') has a broad grey-green band through the centre of each leaf, framed by deeper green margins and fine midrib patterning. The pale centre gives each blade a clear, graphic shape, especially where overlapping leaves angle upward in the evening. It grows as a low, spreading prayer plant with flexible stems that fill the pot gradually. The thin leaves mark easily if the air is very dry or moisture swings too far between wet and dry.
