Rabbit Tracks can tolerate being far from a window and light source.
Place it less than 6 feet from a south-facing window to ensure it receives enough light to survive 💪.

How to fertilize Rabbit Tracks
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Rabbit Tracks after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

I just love new leaves on #Maranta plants. They look like perfect rolls of paper, or little cigars. Lol. My #RabbitTracks plant is getting big; she has multiple new leaves at any given time. Today, she has 4. I hope that she will get enormous like the prayer plant that @learydarrel has! #Goals #PrayerPlant #HappyPlants #NewGrowth #FreshLeafFriday #FreshFeaturedFriday #babevila

This is a small rant about the condition of the roots of some plants that I bought has been. Something small plant stores have to do is to please not sell cuttings in huge pots as stablished plants. It has happened to me a couple of times that I buy a plant from a small store and when I go to check the roots they have either no roots or they have such a small root system I have to put them in water. I got Alice in a 130cm pot, and her root system was almost non existent. If I had left her there she could have easily died…. This is simply dishonesty in my eyes and makes me highly questions the store. #astromindthoughts
