- Inventory on the way
Some successes deserve something special — a gift that grows, lasts and feels sincere. Our Maranta in a simple ceramic pot, paired with a beautifully scented candle from our handmade botanical range poured in a golden tin, makes a refined and thoughtful way to say congratulations.
The Maranta, often called the Prayer Plant, folds its leaves together each evening in quiet reflection — a natural rhythm that speaks of balance, patience and growth. It’s the perfect way to celebrate life’s forward steps, whether it’s a new job, a promotion, a graduation or a personal milestone. Its movement and colour remind us that real success takes time, care and light.
The candle adds warmth and light to the celebration, filling the room with a clean botanical scent that brings focus and calm. Together, they create a gift that feels alive and optimistic — a quiet ritual of gratitude and progress.
We’ll include a free handwritten card with your message. Just add your words at checkout and we’ll wrap it beautifully, removing all pricing before delivery.
Size
Plant: 12 cm nursery pot, presented in a 13 cm ceramic pot.
Candle: 75 g gold tin, natural soy wax for a clean, even burn.
Native habitat and growth pattern
The Maranta grows beneath the tropical forest canopy of Brazil, moving gently with the light throughout the day. Its daily rhythm — opening with the sun and resting at night — reflects harmony and perseverance, making it an ideal symbol of steady achievement.
Styling at home
The ceramic pot’s timeless design pairs beautifully with the Maranta’s patterned foliage, fitting effortlessly into both home and office settings. The candle’s warm glow softens the space and marks the moment — elegant, natural and quietly celebratory.
Care requirements
Place in bright, indirect light and keep the soil lightly moist. Allow the top few centimetres to dry between waterings. Mist occasionally or place near other plants for humidity. Feed monthly during spring and summer with Happy Houseplants Organic Tropical Plant Food to encourage healthy, vibrant growth.
Why choose this congratulations gift
Because success should be celebrated with something that lasts. This Maranta and candle pairing symbolises care, patience and steady progress — a living reminder that growth is its own reward.
Interesting facts
The Maranta’s rhythmic leaf movement, known as nyctinasty, follows the light each day. Many people find its gentle motion meditative — a small daily moment of mindfulness and calm, perfect for times of change and celebration.
