Maranta Variegated 'Beauty Kim'

Beauty Kim Prayer Plant 🌿✨ is loved for its soft green leaves marked with darker spots and creamy yellow to white variegation, giving it a bright cheerful look that stands out without feeling too loud. It does best in bright indirect light indoors, where the pattern stays nicest and it can brighten shelves, desks, and cozy corners away from harsh sun. This plant is generally manageable, but it prefers steady moisture and appreciates a little extra humidity more than tougher beginner plants. Pro tip: if the leaf edges start crisping, check for dry air, dry soil, or a spot too close to a vent 💧.
