Maranta leuconeura

Prayer Plant (mini)

Patterned leaves that fold at night — humidity-loving and gentle.

Mini prayer plants enjoy humid cases and soft light. Their movement adds life; keep them away from arid companions.

Why it works

Clear patterning and forgiving growth for humid beginner builds in medium vessels.

Watering notes

Even moisture with soft water if your tap is very hard. Do not let it crisp dry.

Care tips

  • Provide gentle light for pattern.
  • Wipe dust in open displays.
  • Divide if the case becomes crowded.

Common problems

  • Crispy margins.
  • Faded pattern in low light.
  • Fungus gnats in soggy mix.
