Some gifts grow more meaningful with time. Our Maranta in a stylish Vibes pot, paired with our exclusive Organic Vegan Plant Food, makes a thoughtful Mother’s Day gift — a living symbol of love, care and gratitude for your mum, grandmother, or the woman in your life who offered kindness and comfort when it mattered most.
The Maranta, often called the Prayer Plant, folds its leaves each evening as though in quiet reflection. It’s a graceful rhythm of balance and renewal — a gentle reminder of the steady, patient care that helps everything grow. For Mother’s Day, it becomes more than a houseplant. It’s a small, living thank you for all the warmth and guidance that shape our lives.
Our Happy Houseplants Organic Vegan Plant Food completes the gift with everything needed to nurture that symbol of love. Made from natural seaweed and botanicals, it encourages lush, healthy growth and vibrant foliage — helping this living gesture flourish long after the day is done.

Native habitat and growth pattern
In the warm understorey of Brazil’s tropical forests, the Maranta grows in soft, filtered light, opening and closing its leaves in rhythm with the day. Its daily motion — known as nyctinasty — reflects life’s natural balance of care and rest, making it a fitting emblem of motherhood’s quiet strength.
Styling at home
The Maranta’s soft green leaves and graceful movement bring calm to any space, while the Vibes pot adds a touch of modern design. Together, they brighten windowsills, kitchens or desks with gentle colour and life — a daily reminder of love and gratitude.
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 for humidity. Feed monthly during spring and summer with our Organic Vegan Plant Food to encourage steady, healthy growth.
Why choose this Mother’s Day gift
Because love grows through care. This Maranta and plant food pairing celebrates the nurturing bond between giver and receiver — a living symbol of gratitude, patience and quiet strength for any woman who’s made life brighter.
Interesting facts
The Maranta’s rhythmic movement is more than beautiful — it’s responsive. Each night it folds its leaves as though resting, then opens again with the light. It’s this gentle motion that’s made it one of the most beloved houseplants for mindfulness and calm.
