Red Vein Maranta leuconeura – Classic Prayer Plant

The Red Vein Maranta leuconeura, commonly known as the prayer plant, is loved for its soft green leaves highlighted by bold red veins and its distinctive habit of folding its leaves upward in the evening. Compact and decorative, it’s a popular choice for shelves, side tables, and indoor plant collections.

Key Features

• Striking Red Veining: Fine red veins contrast beautifully against velvety green foliage.
• Prayer Movement: Leaves gently raise and lower between day and night.
• Compact Growth: Naturally low-growing and well suited to smaller spaces.
• Low Light Tolerant: Performs well in lower light than many patterned foliage plants.

Care Requirements

• Light: Tolerant of low light conditions, but performs best in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can fade or scorch the leaves.
• Watering: Prefers well-draining soil that remains evenly moist at all times. Do not allow the plant to dry out completely, and avoid soggy soil.
• Humidity: Handles regular household humidity but thrives in higher humidity environments.

Shipping

This plant will be sent in its plastic growing pot

We only ship plants on Mondays. Please order before 2pm on Sunday to ensure your plant will be sent the following Monday. Orders placed after this time MIGHT not be shipped untill the following week.

We only ship plants to non-quarantine states (sorry sorry WA, TAS and NT residents). Shipping of plants is capped at $18.00 per order. This includes the packing materials and labour times. We use recycled packing where possible to reduce our waste and keep cost down, but we ensure that all packing material is sturdy enough to resist damage during transit.

If no one is home to receive your order, the parcel will be left in a safe place. We will not request signature on delivery, as parcels sent back to the post office may not get picked up for days, therefore increasing the amount of stress placed on the plant(s) inside.

This plant can also be picked up from the Northern Wellbeing Centre; 113C miller st, Epping VIC. If you select this option at check-out, we will email you to organise a pick-up time.
