Mesmerizing Prayer Plant: Maranta Leuconeura

Scientific Name: Maranta leuconeura
Common Names / Known As: Prayer Plant, Rabbit’s Foot, Herringbone Plant

Brief Description: Hailing from Brazilian rainforests, the Maranta Leuconeura enchants with its oval, velvety green leaves adorned with striking red veins and herringbone patterns. Its leaves fold upward at night, resembling praying hands, adding a dynamic charm to indoor spaces. Perfect for intermediate plant parents, it thrives with attentive but manageable care.

Quirky Fact / Common Use: The Prayer Plant’s nightly leaf movement, known as nyctinasty, is like a natural timekeeper, earning it a spiritual reputation in some cultures as a symbol of gratitude and reflection.

🌱 Care Tips

  • Light: Prefers bright, indirect light; tolerates low light but may lose vibrancy. Avoid direct sun to prevent leaf burn.
  • Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy, watering when the top 1-2 cm feels dry, about every 1-2 weeks. Use distilled or rainwater to avoid leaf tip browning.
  • Humidity: Loves high humidity (50-70%); mist regularly or place near a humidifier for optimal growth.
  • Temperature: Thrives in 18-24°C; keep above 15°C to prevent leaf curl.
  • Feeding: Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser every 2-4 weeks during spring and summer; reduce in winter.
  • Pet Friendly? ✅ Non-toxic to pets, safe for cats and dogs.

What would you like to see:

To ensure fresh and healthy plants we follow a strict weekly shipping schedule: 

Mondays: We prepare plants for shipping! This means wrapping the soil, adding plant sleeves, and one last pre-travel watering. 
Tuesdays: We wake up bright and early to get all plants carefully packaged for shipping in the morning, in the afternoon we hand over plants with the longest travel ahead of them to our courier partners (this means Eastern, Western and Northern Cape)
Wednesdays: If there are any plants that did not fit in the Tuesday truck, they travel in the second batch on a Wednesday. 
Thursdays and Fridays: No plants are shipped, we carefully monitor all the travelling plant babies to ensure they arrive safely at their new homes ! 

Why do we do this? 

Our shipping schedule works this way to ensure that your plants are less likely to spend a weekend in the courier depot ! Our shipping schedule is designed this way to ensure that your plants are fresh and healthy, for this same reason we do not like keeping stock for extended periods of time which means that stock received on Thursdays and Fridays will only be shipped the following week.
