How to care for a Maranta Fascinator 'Prayer Plant'

Watering Maranta Fascinator 'Prayer Plant'

The Maranta Fascinator 'Prayer Plant' likes even moisture in the potting soil.
Water regularly, but avoid allowing the roots to sit in soggy soil.
Preferably use a watering can such as the Elho 1.5 L watering can for controlled pouring and also take a look at our pots in the collection of pots for houseplants for good drainage.

Light requirements Maranta Fascinator 'Prayer Plant'

This plant does best in a spot with indirect, filtered light.
Keep out of direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn, but provide sufficient brightness for more intense leaf markings.
Light conditions similar to those of an Aglaonema Silver Bay or Monstera Minima are ideal; feel free to take a look at those plants for inspiration.

Common problems

Yellow leaves

Yellow leaves are often caused by too much or too little water.
Check the moisture with your finger: if the top layer is still wet, wait before watering.
At the same time, too much light or temperature stress can contribute; avoid drafts and sudden temperature changes.

Plant that drips

The leaves of the Maranta 'Prayer Plant' fold up three to four times a day, and sometimes you see condensation or droplets forming.
This is a natural process (guttation) and no reason to panic.
Overwatering can make it worse; adjust the amount and ensure air circulation.

Pests and pests

Spider mites and thrips can nest on the underside of the leaf.
Inspect weekly and treat any emerging infestation with a gentle spray of jungle mist leaf moisturizing spray.
For persistent pests, you can also use sticky traps against fungus gnats or look for biological control agents.

Roots that grow outwards from the bottom

When the roots emerge through the drainage holes, the plant is ready to be repotted.
Choose a slightly larger pot from our collection of houseplant pots and use loose potting soil for aroids to encourage root growth.
Repot preferably during the growing season, with careful hands so as not to damage the roots.

Brown edges on the leaves

Brown leaf edges often indicate air that is too dry or water that is too hot.
Use rainwater or filtered water to avoid limescale build-up.
Increase the humidity around the plant with a plant hanger or place a humidifier nearby, for example in combination with an asplenium‐parvati for extra moisture retention.
