Pigment Maranta Prayer Plant

This is a natural behavior known as nyctinasty. The plant folds its leaves upward at night and lowers them during the day in response to light cycles, which is why it is commonly called a Prayer Plant.

Yes, the Maranta Lemon Lime is non-toxic and confirmed to be pet-friendly. It is a safe choice for households with curious pets.

These plants are sensitive to chemicals found in tap water. We recommend using distilled or filtered water to keep the foliage healthy and prevent brown tips.

The goal is to keep the soil consistently moist but never soggy. Check the top inch of soil; if it feels dry to the touch, it is time to water, but ensure the pot has proper drainage to avoid waterlogging.

This plant thrives in bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch the delicate leaves, so place it near a window with a sheer curtain or in a spot that receives filtered light throughout the day.

The plant ships in a standard plastic nursery pot. Decorative vessels like our Charlie, Lucy, Monroe, or Parker pots are available for separate purchase if you prefer a more finished look.
