Growing Information

This plant prefers bright, indirect light and should be kept away from direct sun to prevent leaf burn. Watering should maintain consistently moist soil, allowing the top inch to dry out before watering again. High humidity is beneficial, so occasional misting or a humidity tray can help. The Maranta Prayer Plant thrives in warm indoor temperatures and should be protected from cold drafts. Using well-draining, peat-based soil supports healthy root development. Monthly fertilization during active growth promotes vibrant foliage.
