Maranta Leuconeura Variegata 12cm Pot House Plant

The Maranta leuconeura ‘Variegata’ is a rare and breathtaking twist on the classic prayer plant, showcasing its signature bold leaf pattern with an added touch of creamy white and pale yellow variegation. Like all Marantas, the Variegata exhibits nyctinasty—its leaves gently fold upward at night, resembling hands in prayer. This daily motion adds a touch of magic and movement to your plant collection, making it as interactive as it is beautiful.

Beautiful, rare, and full of personality, the Maranta leuconeura ‘Variegata’ is a true gem for plant lovers who appreciate detail, movement, and soft tropical flair. 

Care Requirements:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light to keep variegation vibrant. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves. 

• Water: Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy.

• Humidity: Loves high humidity. Aim for 50% or higher. 

• Temperature: Thrives in warm indoor temperatures between 16–27°C. 

• Soil: Use a well-draining mix rich in organic matter—something light and airy with peat or coco coir.

• Feeding: Feed every 4–6 weeks during the growing season (spring through early fall) with a gentle, diluted houseplant fertilizer.

• Pruning: Remove any yellow or damaged leaves to encourage fresh growth. You can pinch leggy stems to promote a fuller shape.

Pet-Friendly: Yes! Marantas are non-toxic to cats and dogs.
