Prayer Plant Climate DNA: Native Habitat Profile
The quality-filtered native-record profile for Maranta leuconeura centers on 21.9°C annual mean temperature and 1471 mm annual precipitation. Its robust p10–p90 climate envelope is wider than those two medians: the coldest-month minimum spans 11.6–19.2°C, while modeled annual rainfall spans 989–1964 mm. This is a computed environmental fingerprint built from 154 spatially thinned climate points attached to filtered GBIF records inside the POWO native range of central and eastern Brazil. It describes where retained records occur in long-term gridded climate; it is not an indoor-care prescription or a physiological tolerance test. ...
