Marantas are known for their unique leaf movement—folding up at night and opening again in the morning, a trait that has earned them the nickname “Prayer Plant.” This variety is not rare but still unusual enough to be a talking point in your collection.

☀️ Light

☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)

The Maranta Leuconeura Kerchoveana Variegated Prayer Plant thrives in bright, indirect light. It’s ideal to place it where the sunlight is filtered through a curtain or slightly shaded by other plants. Avoid placing your prayer plant in direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves.

💧 Water

💧💧▫️ (Medium)

Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water the plant when the top 50–75% of the soil has dried out. Use filtered or rainwater for the best results, as tap water may contain minerals that can cause the leaf edges to brown.

🌡️ Temperature

🌡️🌡️🌡️ (Warm)

Maranta plants prefer warmer temperatures typical to indoor environments, ideally between 18°C to 24°C. Avoid placing your plant near drafts or cold windows during the winter months.

💦 Humidity

💦💦💦 (High)

This Prayer Plant loves humidity! It’s perfectly suited for environments like kitchens and bathrooms where the air tends to be moister. Alternatively, consider using a humidity tray or a small humidifier to keep it thriving.

🪴 Repotting

Consider repotting your Prayer Plant every 18-24 months or when it outgrows its pot. Use a well-draining soil mix, ideally formulated for Maranta and Calathea plants, to ensure the best growth. Our premium maranta & calathea potting mix is a great choice.
