Office Gift – Maranta in Ceramic Pot with Botanical Candle
- In stock, ready to ship
- Inventory on the way
Some gifts bring calm into busy spaces. 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 thoughtful office gift — elegant, lasting and full of quiet focus.
The Maranta, often called the Prayer Plant, folds its leaves each evening in a soft rhythm of rest and renewal. In a workspace, that gentle movement feels grounding — a small reminder to pause and breathe between calls, meetings or long days. Its patterned leaves add subtle texture and life, softening modern desks and shelves with a touch of nature.
The candle adds warmth and light, creating a calm, reflective atmosphere perfect for offices or studios. Together, they offer a moment of balance and wellbeing — a living ritual that encourages focus, calm and care. Whether given to a colleague, client or team, it’s a meaningful gesture that lasts long after the working day.
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
In the shaded understory of Brazil’s tropical forests, the Maranta grows close to the ground, moving gently with the light. Its natural rhythm reflects calm and consistency — qualities that make it an ideal addition to any modern workspace.
Styling at home or work
The ceramic pot’s clean, simple design fits seamlessly into any interior — from contemporary offices to creative studios. The Maranta’s patterned leaves and the candle’s golden glow create a soft counterbalance to technology and screens, helping restore a sense of calm.
Care requirements
Place in bright, indirect light and keep the soil lightly moist, allowing the top few centimetres to dry before watering again. Mist occasionally or place near other plants to increase humidity. Feed monthly during spring and summer with Happy Houseplants Organic Tropical Plant Food to support lush, steady growth.
Why choose this office gift
Because calm fuels creativity. This Maranta and candle pairing brings a sense of peace and focus to any workspace — a thoughtful way to show appreciation, celebrate success or simply brighten the everyday.
Interesting facts
The Maranta’s rhythmic leaf movements — known as nyctinasty — allow it to respond to light naturally. Watching it rise and rest each day is known to reduce stress and increase mindfulness — a small but powerful daily reminder to slow down.
