Christmas Gift – Maranta in Vibes Pot with Plant Food
- In stock, ready to ship
Some Christmas gifts feel especially thoughtful — calm, lasting and full of warmth. This Maranta in a stylish Vibes pot, paired with our exclusive Happy Houseplants Organic Vegan Plant Food, makes a beautiful festive gift for someone who deserves something meaningful beneath the tree.
The Maranta, often called the Prayer Plant, moves gently with the rhythm of the light, lifting and folding its patterned leaves each evening. This soft motion suits the quieter pace of the festive season, bringing a sense of calm, stillness and cosy winter comfort. Its deep green foliage with warm red veins adds gentle colour to the home — a living reminder to slow down and enjoy the small moments that make Christmas feel special.
Paired with our Organic Vegan Plant Food, made from seaweed and natural plant extracts, this gift supports healthy, balanced growth well into the new year. It offers everything the recipient needs to enjoy their plant through winter and beyond — a small reminder that even during the darker months, good things continue to grow.
We’ll include a free handwritten Christmas card with your message. Add your words at checkout and we’ll wrap everything carefully, removing all pricing before delivery.
Size
Plant: 12 cm nursery pot, presented in a Vibes pot.
Plant food: 100 ml bottle, made with 100% vegan, organic ingredients, exclusive to Happy Houseplants.
Native habitat and growth pattern
The Maranta originates from the shaded understory of Brazilian rainforests, where soft, filtered light encourages its natural leaf movement. This rhythmic folding at night — known as nyctinasty — is completely normal and brings a sense of life and quiet motion indoors. It’s a wonderfully calming presence during the winter season.
Styling at home
The Vibes pot adds a modern, elegant touch that pairs beautifully with the Maranta’s patterned foliage. It fits effortlessly into festive décor, whether placed on a mantle with winter candles, on a bedside table for a warm seasonal glow, or on a hallway console where its movement can be admired. It brings both colour and serenity to any room.
Care requirements
Place in bright, indirect light and keep the compost lightly moist, allowing the top few centimetres to dry between waterings. Avoid cold draughts and very dry air. Mist occasionally or position near other plants for gentle humidity. Feed monthly in spring and summer with Happy Houseplants Organic Vegan Plant Food to support strong, healthy growth.
Why choose this Christmas gift
Because thoughtful gifts last far beyond Christmas Day. This Maranta and plant food pairing brings calm, colour and gentle winter cheer — a meaningful festive gesture that continues to grow into the new year.
