Maranta 'Leuconeura'

Green Prayer Plant 🌿 has soft light green leaves marked with darker oval blotches that give it a painted, almost feathered look without the veining of other Marantas. It does best in bright indirect light indoors, where it can brighten shelves, desks, and cozy corners while staying out of harsh direct sun. This is a generally manageable plant, but it appreciates consistent moisture and a little extra humidity more than tougher beginner plants. Pro tip: if the leaves start curling or getting crispy, check for dry soil, dry air, or a spot too close to a vent 💧.
