4” Maranta Red - Prayer Plant

The Maranta Red Prayer Plant, also known as Maranta leuconeura 'Erythroneura,' is a stunning houseplant cherished for its vibrant red veins against deep green leaves. 

Here's how to care for your Maranta Red Prayer Plant:

☀️Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves. In lower light conditions, the plant may lose some of its vibrant coloration.

💦 Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, and ensure proper drainage to prevent root rot. Mist the leaves occasionally to provide extra humidity.

🌧️Thrives in high humidity environments. Mist the leaves regularly or use a humidifier to maintain humidity levels, especially in dry indoor spaces.

🌡️Keep the plant in a warm environment with temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C). Protect it from cold drafts and sudden temperature fluctuations.

🪹Plant in well-draining, peat-based potting mix. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.

🥣Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half-strength every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Avoid fertilizing in fall and winter.

✂️Trim yellow or brown leaves regularly to maintain the plant's appearance and health. You can also pinch back leggy stems to encourage bushier growth.

🌱Maranta Red Prayer Plant can be propagated by division or stem cuttings. Divide the plant during repotting or take stem cuttings with at least one node and place them in water or moist potting mix until roots develop.

With proper care, your Maranta Red Prayer Plant will reward you with its striking foliage and graceful habit. Enjoy its beauty and watch it thrive in your home.
