None known Plant Care

None known (Marantochloa mildbraedii) belongs to the Marantaceae family within the Marantochloa genus. None known is native to Cameroon, Central African Republic, Equatorial Guinea, Republic of Congo (Brazzaville) and Gabon.

None known displays a clumping, low rosette growth habit, reaching up to 2.5 ft tall with a spread of approximately 2.5 ft. None known produces small, inconspicuous flowers surrounded by colorful bracts.

Leaf size: approximately 12 inches.

Water a young or newly planted None known every 7–10 days, soaking the whole root zone, until it is established — usually one to two growing seasons. Established shrubs mainly need water during long dry spells. In a container, water whenever the top few centimetres of soil are dry.

None known thrives in bright indirect to low light. Avoid placing None known in direct, harsh sunlight for extended periods, as this can scorch the foliage.

Marantochloa mildbraedii tolerates temperatures of 65–80°F. None known prefers humidity levels of 50–70%. A pebble tray or humidifier helps maintain adequate moisture around the plant.

Rich, well-draining potting mix with added peat moss and perlite. Good drainage is essential for None known to prevent waterlogging, which leads to root rot and fungal issues.

Feed None known every 6 months during the growing season with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer at the rate on the label. Established shrubs in good soil often need little extra feeding, so let weak growth or pale foliage guide you.

Stop feeding by late summer so new growth can harden before winter.

The PlantoScan app can remind you when to water and when to fertilize each plant.

Choose a spot with bright indirect to low light and rich, well-draining potting mix with added peat moss and perlite. Avoid low spots where water collects after rain.

None known is suited to USDA Zone 11a – 12b.

Plant container-grown or balled-and-burlapped shrubs in spring or early autumn, setting the root flare at soil level, and water well after planting.

None known can spread to about 3 ft (0.8 m) and reach about 3 ft (1 m) tall. Space plants about 3 ft (0.8 m) apart so mature crowns don't crowd each other, and plant at least half that distance from buildings, fences and paths.

Prune None known while it is dormant in late winter: first remove dead, damaged and crossing branches, then thin lightly for shape.

If it flowers in spring, prune right after flowering instead so you don't remove next year's buds. Never take off more than about a quarter of the shrub in one year.

None known is frost-tender (hardy to USDA zone 11). In colder areas grow it in a container and move it to a bright, frost-free place before the first frost.

None known can be propagated through division, rhizome cuttings. Similar propagation techniques also apply to marantochloa purpurea plant care, which shares the same genus.

None known is susceptible to spider mites, aphids, mealybugs. Inspect the foliage regularly, especially along leaf undersides and stems. Treat infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil to prevent spread.

None known grows outdoors in USDA Zone 11a – 12b. It survives winters down to planting zone 11a. None known is native to Cameroon, Central African Republic, Equatorial Guinea, Republic of Congo (Brazzaville) and Gabon. In cooler regions, grow None known as a houseplant or bring it indoors before the first frost.
