- Botanical Name: Maranta
- Common Names: Prayer plant
- Description: The Maranta is a evergreen perennial native to Central and South America. This plant flat oval leaves with a line pattern that runs symmetrically across the leaves.
- Direct sun or too much sun scorches the leaves of the prayer plant and may kill it. These plants prefer 6 to 8 hours of bright indirect light during the day. They’re tolerant of low light areas, as long as there is good air flow. Keep your plant out of direct sunlight near a window that receives bright light, or in an area of your garden that gets indirect sunlight. Low light conditions won’t hurt them, but these slow growers may do better where they receive enough light to have significant growth.
- Prayer plants do not like to be dry, and prefer moist soil all of the time. That means you’ll likely have a watering routine that includes frequent watering in brighter light. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between watering. Water at the soil surface, but never let the plant’s roots get soggy. When you water prayer plant, use room temperature water. In the winter, reduce watering as your prayer plant goes dormant. You may have heard that some houseplants are picky and preferred filtered or distilled water. This is one of those plants. They also need high humidity at 50% to 60%.
