Maranta Leuconeura Fantasy - prayer plant
A true classic of a plant, this beautiful specimen has the bonus of movement! Its leaves fold up at night, hence the name Prayer plant.
Plant Care
Light: Bright indirect light, too much sun, and you risk scorching the leaves. The prayer plant will tolerate lower light conditions.
Watering: They want to be moist all the time. This plant is sensitive to tap water so. Ideally, you want to give it rainwater or treat your tap, so this fussy beauty's tips won't brown.
Temperature: 16-24°C These plants prefer things on the warmer side, so they are not a good choice for a cold conservatory.
Potting: A well-draining potting mix that holds the moisture, so you don't have to constantly water is a good choice. Our Thirst Trap mix does the trick.
Hot tips: This is a plant that is the most low maintenance in a humid environment, so keep it with plant friends, add a pebble tray, or a bathroom.
Pet Friendly: YES
