Maranta 'Red Prayer Plant'
Complete Care Guide
WATERING
Frequency: Keep the soil lightly moist; water when the top inch is dry. It likes consistency more than most, but it forgives the occasional miss.
Method: Water thoroughly until water drains from bottom holes. Empty saucer after 30 minutes.
LIGHT
Best Placement: Medium, indirect, the kind most apartment living rooms have a few feet back from a window. Direct sun will fade the red.
Signs: Pale leaves = too much light. Leggy growth = not enough light.
TEMPERATURE & HUMIDITY
Ideal Range: 65-75°F (18-24°C) with 40-60% humidity
Tip: Keep away from heating vents, AC units, and drafty windows.
GROWTH & MAINTENANCE
Repotting: Every 1-2 years in spring, or when roots circle the pot
Fertilizing: Monthly during growing season (spring/summer) with diluted liquid fertilizer.
