Housewarming Gift – Maranta in Vibes Pot with Botanical Candle
- In stock, ready to ship
A new home deserves something alive, something that grows. Our Maranta in a stylish Vibes pot, paired with a beautifully scented candle from our handmade botanical range poured in a golden tin, brings warmth, calm and light to fresh spaces. It’s a thoughtful housewarming gift for anyone settling into a new home — a gesture of renewal, peace and natural beauty.
Smell is often what makes a house feel like home, and the candle’s soft botanical fragrance does just that — a blend that fills the air with freshness and familiarity. Its gentle scent of greenery and light creates a welcoming mood from the very first evening.
The Maranta, often called the Prayer Plant, adds its own quiet rhythm to a room. Each evening it folds its leaves together as if in gratitude, a small living reminder of balance and belonging. Together, plant and candle create a sense of calm continuity — a daily ritual of stillness in the middle of new beginnings.
We’ll include a free handwritten card with your message. Just 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 13 cm Vibes pot.
Candle: 75 g gold tin, natural soy wax for a clean, even burn.
Native habitat and growth pattern
The Maranta grows on the floor of Brazil’s tropical forests, where filtered light and gentle humidity shape its rhythm of opening and closing leaves. It’s a plant that thrives on balance and adapts beautifully to indoor life — a living emblem of peace and renewal.
Styling at home
Perfect for kitchens, living rooms or bedrooms, this set adds warmth and texture to any interior. The Maranta’s patterned leaves catch soft light beautifully, while the candle’s glow transforms even the quietest corners into places of comfort.
Care requirements
Bright, indirect light is ideal. Keep the soil lightly moist, allowing the top few centimetres to dry before watering again. Mist occasionally or group with other plants to maintain humidity. Feed monthly in spring and summer with Happy Houseplants Organic Tropical Plant Food to encourage healthy, vibrant growth.
Why choose this housewarming gift
Because every home deserves life, light and warmth. This thoughtful pairing creates a calm ritual for new beginnings — the scent of a candle and the steady rhythm of a growing plant marking each day as the start of something new.
Interesting facts
The Maranta’s folding movement, known as nyctinasty, follows the light each day. Many people see this gentle motion as a symbol of gratitude, making it a perfect housewarming plant.
