Overview
Maranta leuconeura 'Fascinator Tricolour', commonly known as the Prayer Plant, is a highly decorative tropical houseplant prized for its richly patterned foliage. Each velvety green leaf is marked with vivid red veins, darker green blotches and lighter green tones, creating an eye-catching display throughout the year.
Named for its distinctive daily movement, the leaves gently raise and fold upwards in the evening before opening again during the day. Its compact, gently spreading habit makes it an excellent choice for shelves, plant stands and tabletops, adding colour and texture to bright indoor spaces.

Growing Guide
Indoor Placement
Place in bright, indirect light. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight, which can fade or scorch the beautifully coloured foliage. It thrives in warm rooms with higher humidity, making it an excellent choice for naturally bright bathrooms or kitchens.
Watering
Keep the compost lightly moist, allowing only the surface to dry slightly before watering again. Avoid leaving the plant standing in water, while also preventing the compost from drying out completely.
Humidity
Higher humidity encourages the healthiest foliage. Bathrooms with natural light or the use of a pebble tray can help maintain suitable conditions.
Feeding
Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced liquid houseplant fertiliser at the recommended rate.
