Bold Pattern, Gentle Movement
Our Red Prayer Plant (Maranta leuconeura ‘Erythroneura’) delivers striking visual interest through bold foliage and subtle daily motion. Its oval green leaves feature vivid red veining and a soft, velvety texture. The result is a plant that feels expressive, balanced, and quietly alive.
This tropical perennial adapts easily to indoor environments. It brings lasting color and a sense of rhythm to living spaces throughout the year.
Naturally Suited for Indoor Spaces
The Red Prayer Plant is well suited for shelves, desks, and tabletop planters. Its compact growth habit makes it easy to place in small spaces without overwhelming the room.
Indoors, it thrives in bright, indirect light. Warm, stable conditions help maintain healthy growth and vibrant leaf color.
Easy Care with a Living Rhythm
Maranta is known for being approachable and forgiving. It prefers evenly moist soil and responds well to consistent care.
Each evening, the leaves gently lift and fold inward. By morning, they relax and open again. This natural movement adds a subtle rhythm that many plant owners find grounding and engaging.
These starter plants are locally grown in Southern Maryland. Each one is healthy, well-rooted, and ready to settle into your space.
