Father’s Day Gift – Maranta in Vibes Pot with Botanical Candle
- In stock, ready to ship
Some gifts don’t need to shout to be remembered. Our Maranta in a stylish Vibes pot, paired with a beautifully scented candle from our handmade botanical range poured in a golden tin, is a quiet, thoughtful way to honour the fathers and mentors who guide us with steady strength and care. It’s the perfect Father’s Day gift from Happy Houseplants — something calm, lasting and full of meaning, ideal for Dad or the man in your life who offered kindness and security when it truly mattered.
The Maranta, often called the Prayer Plant, folds its leaves each evening in gentle reflection. It’s a small act of grace, repeated day after day — a living symbol of patience, balance and rhythm. For Father’s Day, it becomes more than a plant. It’s a gesture of gratitude, a reminder of the quiet, reliable support that keeps everything steady. And just like Dad, it’s easy-going, dependable and full of quiet character.
The candle completes the gift with soft fragrance and warm light — a moment of calm at the end of a long day. Together, they speak of peace, reflection and appreciation. Thoughtful and understated, this set transforms any space and lingers long after Father’s Day is over.
We’ll include a free handwritten card with your message. Simply add your words at checkout and we’ll wrap it carefully, removing all pricing before delivery.
Size
Plant: 12 cm nursery pot, presented in a 14 cm Vibes pot.
Candle: 75 g gold tin, natural soy wax for a clean, even burn.
Native habitat and growth pattern
Native to the tropical forests of Brazil, the Maranta grows beneath the canopy where the light is soft and filtered. It follows its own daily rhythm, opening and closing its leaves in response to light — a natural rhythm of renewal and rest.
Styling at home
The Vibes pot adds understated style to desks, shelves or windowsills. Its elegant form blends easily into any space, from home studies to living rooms, while the candle’s golden glow adds warmth and stillness — perfect for Dad.
Care requirements
Place the Maranta in bright, indirect light and keep the soil lightly moist. Allow the top few centimetres to dry before watering again. Mist occasionally or group with other plants to help maintain humidity. Feed monthly in spring and summer with Happy Houseplants Organic Tropical Plant Food to encourage vibrant colour and healthy growth.
Why choose this Father’s Day gift
Because the best gifts have meaning. The Maranta’s gentle movement and the candle’s calm light remind us of quiet strength, patience and care — the qualities that define fatherhood in its truest form. It will last longer than flowers and feels perfect for Dad.
Interesting facts
The Maranta’s rhythmic folding is called nyctinasty — a movement guided by the natural light cycle. Many people find it meditative to watch, a living clock marking the passage of the day.
