Maranta’s were given their name after the famous Italian 16th-century Botanist Bartolomeo Maranta. But they have received the common name “Prayer Plant” after an interesting adaptation they have formed to save energy during the night. Once the light level has dropped and it has become dark the flat leaves of the Maranta fold upwards almost perfectly in half giving it the appearance of praying hands.
Maranta Silver Band is a beautiful variety with silver stripes on leaves. These fast-growing, easy-to-care and pet-friendly plants are one of the most popular choices for gifts and beginners.
This is Haworthia Retusa. The plant because of its amazing look is very unique and should be in the collection of every succulents lover. Edges of leaves are translucent hence the other name of this plant “see-through succulent”.
The plant grows very slowly and requires minimum attention. Pet-friendly and thieves neglected.
While some of these species are relatively easy to take care of, we would class Maranta’s at the intermediate level of care as they can be a bit fussier than most. They would prefer you to provide a growing environment similar to their native environment, ideally, these plants would perform best in a greenhouse. But you can still help them to thrive whilst keeping them in your home.
