- Inventory on the way
Some gifts say thank you in the gentlest way. Our Maranta in a simple ceramic pot, paired with our exclusive Happy Houseplants Organic Vegan Plant Food, makes a heartfelt Mother’s Day gift — calm, lasting and full of quiet love.
The Maranta, often called the Prayer Plant, folds its leaves together each night in a graceful rhythm of reflection. It’s a living symbol of patience and care — qualities that so many mothers, grandmothers and mother figures show without ever asking for recognition. Like love itself, its beauty is in its constancy.
Paired with our Organic Vegan Plant Food, made from natural seaweed and plant extracts, this set becomes a small ritual of care — a reminder that a little attention, given often, makes life thrive. It’s a gift that continues to grow long after Mother’s Day, a living expression of gratitude and warmth.
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.
Plant food: 100 ml bottle, made with 100% vegan, organic ingredients, exclusive to Happy Houseplants.
Native habitat and growth pattern
The Maranta grows on the tropical forest floor of Brazil, where light filters gently through the canopy above. Its daily movement mirrors the rhythm of life itself — opening to the morning, resting at night — a quiet celebration of balance and renewal.
Styling at home
The clean ceramic pot suits any interior, from bright kitchens to cosy bedrooms. The Maranta’s softly patterned leaves and gentle movement add calm energy, bringing a sense of stillness and life to every corner.
Care requirements
Bright, indirect light is best. Keep the soil lightly moist, allowing the top few centimetres to dry between waterings. Mist occasionally or group with other plants to maintain humidity. Feed monthly in spring and summer with Happy Houseplants Organic Vegan Plant Food to support strong, steady growth.
Why choose this Mother’s Day gift
Because care deserves to be recognised. This Maranta and plant food pairing celebrates quiet devotion — the strength that comes from nurture, love and patience. It’s a living thank-you to the women who make life bloom.
Interesting facts
The Maranta’s rhythmic movement, known as nyctinasty, reflects balance and renewal. Many find it soothing to watch, a reminder that love and care, given daily, create steady, lasting growth.
