Maranta

The Maranta, better known as the prayer plant, is a low-growing beauty prized for its richly patterned leaves. Bold veins, feathered brushstrokes and deep contrasting tones make every leaf feel hand-painted, and come evening the foliage folds gently upward as if in prayer, a charming daily habit that gives the plant its name. Its trailing, spreading habit makes it a standout on a shelf, in a hanging basket, or trailing across a plant stand in a bright bathroom or living space.

Maranta loves warm, humid conditions and bright, indirect light, well away from harsh direct sun that can scorch and fade its markings. Keep the soil consistently moist but never soggy, and mist regularly or group it with other plants to lift the humidity it craves. A prayer plant rewards attentive care, so it suits a grower who enjoys keeping a close eye on their leafy companions. Grown and potted on-site, each plant is hand-picked and ready to settle into its new home.
