Good To Know

Bright, Indirect Light

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: Regular

Check regularly and keep the root compost lightly moist for plants that need steady moisture. Drain excess water and avoid waterlogging. Follow the individual plant’s care profile.

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

Check moisture below the surface and keep conditions steady; curled leaves are not always a request for more water.
