Maranta Leuconeura Fascinata 12cm Pot House Plant

The Maranta leuconeura ‘Fascinata’ is a mesmerizing prayer plant variety, celebrated for its vivid foliage and graceful movement. Its lush, velvety leaves showcase a stunning blend of rich emerald green backgrounds with bold red or burgundy midribs, and delicate, feathery lime-green veins. The undersides add to its charm with a soft purplish hue that creates contrast and depth.

Best of all? Despite its striking appearance, the Fascinata is easy to care for. With just a bit of consistency in watering and the right environment, it thrives happily and continues to produce its beautiful, patterned leaves—making it perfect for beginners or anyone looking to grow their indoor jungle.

Care Requirements:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. It tolerates lower light, but vivid coloration is best maintained with consistent, filtered brightness. 

• Water: Keep soil evenly moist, never soggy. 

• Humidity: Loves high humidity. Aim for 50% or higher. Regular misting, grouping with other plants, or a nearby humidifier will help keep it lush and happy.

• Temperature: Thrives in warm, stable temperatures between 18–27°C. Keep away from cold drafts or air vents.

• Soil: Use a well-draining, airy potting mix—something with peat, coco coir, and perlite or orchid bark works well.

• Feeding: Feed every 4–6 weeks during the growing season with a diluted, balanced houseplant fertilizer.

• Pruning: Remove yellowing or damaged leaves to keep the plant looking fresh and encourage new growth.

Pet-Friendly: Yes! The Maranta Fascinata is non-toxic and safe for pets.
