- In stock, ready to ship
- Inventory on the way
Some birthdays deserve a gift that feels alive. Our Maranta in a simple ceramic pot, paired with our exclusive Happy Houseplants Organic Vegan Plant Food, is a thoughtful way to celebrate another year of life — calm, grounding and full of renewal.
The Maranta, often called the Prayer Plant, folds its leaves each evening in a natural rhythm of reflection and rest. It’s a living symbol of balance and gratitude — qualities that feel just right for birthdays, when we look back on what’s grown and forward to what’s next.
Paired with our Organic Vegan Plant Food, this becomes a gift that keeps giving. Made from natural seaweed and plant extracts, the feed gently supports strong, healthy growth — a reminder that a little care, given regularly, brings lasting rewards.
It’s a beautiful gesture for friends, family or loved ones — anyone who appreciates design, calm and nature’s quiet rhythm.
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

Native habitat and growth pattern
Native to the tropical forests of Brazil, the Maranta thrives in the soft, filtered light beneath tall trees. It follows the rhythm of the day, its leaves moving with light and rest — a pattern that mirrors life’s natural pace.
Styling at home
The ceramic pot’s smooth simplicity makes it easy to style anywhere — a living accent for desks, shelves or bedside tables. The Maranta’s patterned foliage adds soft texture and movement, a quiet touch of life to any interior.
Care requirements
Bright, indirect light is ideal. Keep the soil lightly moist and let the top few centimetres dry before watering again. Mist occasionally or place near other plants to help maintain humidity. Feed monthly during spring and summer with Happy Houseplants Organic Vegan Plant Food to promote steady, vibrant growth.
Why choose this birthday gift
Because growth is worth celebrating. This pairing of plant and feed captures life’s rhythm — patience, balance and care. It’s a meaningful way to say happy birthday, offering something that will grow and thrive long after the candles are gone.
Interesting facts
The Maranta’s daily leaf movement, called nyctinasty, is a natural cycle guided by light. Many find it calming to watch, a small reminder that every day brings new energy and quiet renewal.
