  • About this plant

    The Maranta leuconeura ‘Fascinator’ is a captivating variety of the Prayer Plant, prized for its richly coloured foliage. The leaves are deep green with pinkish-red veins and a herringbone pattern, underscored by a purplish underside that adds depth and drama. This plant is compact and low-growing, making it ideal for table tops or shelf displays. At night, the leaves exhibit a unique “prayer” movement, folding upwards in response to darkness—a charming trait that gives the plant its common name.

Care tips

Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy, using lukewarm, filtered water when the top inch feels dry. Mist regularly or place on a pebble tray to boost humidity. Feed with a balanced, diluted houseplant fertiliser every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer. Avoid direct sun, and trim any yellowing leaves to encourage new growth.
