    Maranta’s are another wonderfully special houseplant, their highly decorative leaves come in a range of tones and colours and offer a real spectacle of natural beauty inside the home. This genus of plant belongs to the Marantacease family, meaning Maranta fall into the same family as Calatheas, sometimes sharing a strong resemblance to each other and can often be mistaken for one another. There are an estimated 50 species within the genus that consist of clump-forming perennials that grow from rhizomes. The majority of species that have made their way into our homes are native to Brazil but the rest of the genus can be found scattered across the tropical forests of South America and with a few species also growing in the West Indies.

    The Staghorn fern is a beautiful plant with uniquely shaped fronds that look like a Stag’s horns, hence the name. This plant can be also mounted and grown in moss or draping from a hanging basket.

    Staghorn Ferns are epiphytic or lithophytic but not a parasite.

    This plant loves high humidity and will thrive in shaded to medium-light spots. Water when the soil slightly dries out (top half of the pot) and don’t keep the soil dry for too long time.

    Epiphytes are plants that grow on another plant and use it as a host to receive nutrients and moisture.

    Lithophytes are plants that grow on rocks, cliff faces and edges of stone formations and do not need soil to thrive.

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.

    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.
