Maranta leuconeura ‘Fascinator’ (Prayer Plant) 12cm Pot

The green leaves of this handsome house plant are threaded with bright red veins, as well as attractively patterned along their midrib with yellow-green splotches. All in all, it’s a showy plant, and curious too, as the leaves tend to fold their leaves up at night – which is why they are commonly referred to as prayer plants.

Care: Originating from tropical regions, they like relatively stable temperatures (ideally above 15°C) and a well-lit position that does not get direct sunlight (think steamy jungle!). They like to be kept well watered, although this can be cut back a little in winter, and they thrive in high humidity, so either grow it in a steamy room, mist it with water regularly, and/or sit the pot on a tray of dampened shingle.
