Prayer Plant (Maranta leuconeura) 30cm Tall

Prayer Plant – Striking Foliage with a Quirky Twist

The Prayer Plant (Maranta leuconeura) is a little showstopper with leaves that are nothing short of spectacular. Its deep green foliage is patterned with splashes of red and lighter green veins, creating a living piece of art for your home.

What makes it truly special is its charming daily ritual: at night, the leaves fold upwards as though in prayer, before opening again each morning. This quirky habit, combined with its vibrant colouring, makes the Prayer Plant a favourite for plant lovers and collectors alike.

Care Tips
Place in bright, indirect light and keep the soil lightly moist, allowing the top layer to dry slightly between waterings. This plant loves humidity, so regular misting will keep its foliage looking fresh and healthy. Keep away from cold draughts for best results.

Please Note
This Prayer Plant comes in a natural 12cm plastic nursery pot – the decorative pot shown in photos is not included.

Choosing the Right Decorative Pot
To give your plant the perfect fit, choose a decorative pot separately. As a guide, go one size up from the nursery pot. For example, if your plant comes in a 12cm nursery pot, opt for a decorative pot with an internal diameter of around 13–15cm. Explore our full plant pot collection below to find the perfect match.
