Maranta 'Red'

Maranta 'Red'

$19.00

Maranta ‘Red’ is a classic prayer plant with a little extra drama—velvety green leaves traced with bold red veins and soft feathered markings. A variety of Maranta leuconeura, it brings color, pattern, and movement to a space. By day, the leaves lie open and expressive; by night, they gently fold upward, giving it that signature “prayer” motion. It stays low and full, making it perfect for tabletops or layered plant groupings.

Insider Tips

Care Tips

Light

Medium to bright, indirect light is ideal. Avoid direct sun, which can fade or scorch the patterned leaves.

Water

Keep soil consistently lightly moist. Allow the top layer to dry slightly between waterings, but don’t let it fully dry out.

Care

Thrives in higher humidity—consider a humidifier or grouping with other plants. Use a well-draining, moisture-retentive mix. Keep warm and feed lightly during the growing season to maintain its vibrant foliage.
