A plant with its own evening routine.

Patterned leaves make this Prayer Plant a lovely addition to a warm, sheltered room. Its foliage changes position through the day, rising towards evening. A steady routine matters more than fussing over it every five minutes.

Good To Know

Bright, Indirect Light

Loves being in the spotlight. Thrives on attention. Just not direct sunlight, that’s where it draws the line. We’re glowing, not grilling.

How not to kill your Prayer Plant (Maranta leuconeura)

We've created a personalised Grow Guide for your Prayer Plant (Maranta leuconeura). Just follow this easy guide and you & your new leafy mate will be loving life together!

Light: Indirect

Choose a bright position with filtered or indirect light. Protect from harsh direct summer sun. Only use lower light where the individual plant’s care profile says it is tolerated.

Watering: Moderate

Check the compost before watering. Water when the upper layer begins to dry, then let excess water drain away. Adjust to the plant, pot, light and season.

Humidity: High

Keep away from drying radiators. Where this plant benefits from higher humidity, use a humidifier or suitable room conditions with ventilation. Routine misting is not a substitute for lasting humidity.

Memento Top Tip

Crispy edges are a cue to check the whole routine: humidity, watering, light and water quality. They are not a reason to keep adding water to wet compost.
