The Maranta Fascinator, also known as the Prayer Plant, is a stunning tropical houseplant with vivid, patterned foliage and a unique habit — its leaves fold up at night like praying hands, a behaviour known as nyctinasty. This rhythmic movement brings a sense of life and calm to any space.

Native to the rainforest floors of Brazil, Maranta plants thrive in warm, humid conditions with dappled light — making them ideal for UK homes, especially in kitchens, bathrooms, or anywhere with consistent humidity.

This particular variety, Fascinator, features deep green leaves with vibrant red midribs and intricate light green markings. It's both striking and soothing — a perfect balance of beauty and ease.

Supplied in a 12cm nursery pot and approx. 30cm tall, it's compact enough for shelves, plant stands, or grouped displays.

Native habitat and growth pattern
In the wild, Marantas spread across the forest floor, creating lush carpets beneath the canopy. Their broad leaves help them catch the soft, filtered light of the understory. Indoors, they prefer similar conditions — no harsh sun, steady moisture, and higher humidity.

Styling tips

  • Great for bright bathrooms or warm kitchens

  • Use in clusters with Calatheas or Ferns for a rainforest look

  • Perfect for adding movement to a still space — the leaves rise and fall with the day

Maranta Fascinator care guide

Light requirements:
Keep in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sun, which can fade or burn the leaves. It also tolerates lower light, though growth may slow.

Watering:
Keep the soil consistently moist, but not soggy. Water when the top inch of soil is dry. Yellowing leaves can signal overwatering or underwatering — check the soil to guide your next move.

Humidity:
Loves humidity. Mist regularly, group with other plants, or place a tray of water and pebbles beneath the pot to help raise humidity. Brown leaf tips suggest air is too dry.

Feeding:
Feed monthly from April to August with a gentle liquid fertiliser. We recommend our Original Vegan Plant Food — an organic seaweed-based blend designed for tropical plants.

Pet safety:
Safe for cats and dogs, making it a great choice for households with pets.

Propagation:
Propagate by division during repotting — gently split the plant into sections, ensuring roots are intact, and replant.

Why choose this plant?

  • Eye-catching foliage that moves with the light

  • Pet safe and suitable for family homes

  • Compact, stylish and easy to grow

  • Perfect for humid rooms or tropical displays

  • A thoughtful gift for any plant lover

FAQs

Why does my Maranta close its leaves at night?
It’s a natural behaviour called nyctinasty, triggered by the change in light levels. It’s part of what makes prayer plants so special.

Can it live in low light?
It will tolerate lower light but prefers bright, indirect light for best colour and growth.

Is it good for bathrooms?
Yes — it thrives in warm, steamy rooms and makes a beautiful addition to shelves or window ledges.

Is it safe for pets?
Yes, it’s non-toxic to cats and dogs.

Our plants are carefully selected and supplied in plastic nursery pots, ensuring their safety during transportation and allowing you to choose a decorative pot of your preference. Experience the beauty and elegance of the Philodendron Brandtianum on Moss Pole and enhance your indoor oasis with this remarkable plant.

We post all our plants to most of the UK, with the exceptions of the Islands of Scotland, the Scottish Highlands, Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man, the Isle of White, the Scilly Isles and the Channel Islands due to the high cost of shipping.

Measurements: The plant heights provided encompass the plant stem and the foliage length, along with the depth of the grow pot, which includes the living root system, and not just the portion of the plant that is visible above the soil level.

Although we strive to provide plants within the specified size range, there may be some instances where the plants supplied could be slightly smaller or larger than the size selected.
