Do marantas climb? This maranta seems to be growing up, and I asume eventually the leaves would be too heavy for it to continue growing vertically. Does it make sense to put a pole (or some kind of support?) Searching online it doesnāt seem to be a thing, but Iām wondering if it will stop it from becoming leggy. Thanks!

Calathea/Maranta Issue Why are my Calatheas and Marantas drying and shriveling by the stem? The tips of the leaves look great. I lost my white fusion this way. (Temp low 80s, humidity 55-60%.) #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #CalatheaCrew

My prayer plant after 1 year, where it originally started out with 5 leaves. Reported once after 6 months when limbs started to root out, medium sunlight, and soak with water once soil is dry. #GreenPrayerPlant
