Maranta in Ribbed Band

Your Maranta (Prayer Plant) comes planted in a balanced soil mix so it starts healthy — with simple, steady care, its patterned leaves stay vibrant and expressive.

Where to keep it?

• Does best in bright, indirect light to maintain its leaf patterns.
• Can tolerate medium light, but avoid strong direct sun which can scorch and fade leaves.

How much watering?
Prefers consistently moist soil, but never soggy.

• Check soil 1 inch deep — if slightly moist, don’t water.
• If dry, water thoroughly until excess drains out.
• Summers: about 1–2 times a week. Winters: every 7–10 days (always follow finger test).
• Enjoys humidity — occasional misting or a humid spot helps.
  

Other care tips

• Avoid overwatering — roots dislike sitting in water.
• Keep away from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
• Wipe leaves occasionally to keep patterns bright and dust-free.
• If leaf edges brown, increase humidity slightly.
