Prayer Plant Care Guide
Light Bright, indirect light
Place in a bright spot with filtered light. Avoid harsh direct sun, which can fade or scorch the leaves.
Water Keep lightly moist
Water when the top of the soil begins to feel slightly dry. Aim for consistent, light moisture—avoid both soggy soil and complete dry-outs.
How to know it’s time: If the top layer feels drier but soil below still has some coolness, it’s a good time to water lightly and let it drain.
Humidity Moderate to higher
If your home is dry, consider a pebble tray or grouping with other plants to create a gentle humidity zone.
Temperature Keep it comfortable
Typical indoor temperatures are ideal. Protect from cold drafts and hot air vents.
Simple success rule: Maranta loves consistency—steady moisture and gentle light create the best leaf quality.
