Maranta Red Prayer Plant
Red Maranta ❤️🌿 is loved for its oval green leaves marked with vivid red veins that give it a bold, almost hand-painted look. It does best in bright indirect light indoors, where the foliage color stays strongest and it can brighten shelves, desks, or cozy corners without needing direct sun. This plant is generally manageable, but it does appreciate more consistent moisture and humidity 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 💧.

I received my plant and it was beautiful.But it died so quickly. Customer service was excellent.Alex responded, and he is going to refund my money and I am going to purchase a new plant when it is warmer out. Unfortunately, I ordered my plants when it was freezing. And the heat pack did not work.
Larger than I expected and very healthy. The soil was damp, so couldn’t ask for anything better!
