20 - 30cm Maranta NoID Prayer House Plant in 14cm Hanging Pot
Marantas, also known as prayer plants, are a group of plants with beautiful, variegated leaves that fold up at night as if in prayer. Here are some general care tips for a Maranta NoID:
-
Light: Maranta NoID plants prefer bright, indirect light. They can tolerate some direct sunlight, but avoid exposing them to intense afternoon sun as it can scorch the leaves.
-
Watering: Maranta NoID plants prefer consistently moist soil, but they are also sensitive to overwatering. Water the plant deeply but less frequently, and ensure that excess water drains out of the bottom of the pot. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out before watering again.
-
Humidity: Maranta NoID plants prefer a humid environment. You can mist the leaves regularly, place a tray of water near the plant, or use a humidifier to increase the humidity levels around the plant.
-
Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix that is rich in organic matter. The soil should be slightly moist but not waterlogged.
-
Fertilizer: Feed the plant with a balanced fertilizer every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce the frequency of feeding during the fall and winter.
-
Pruning: You can prune the plant to shape it or to remove any dead or yellow leaves. The Maranta NoID can also be propagated from stem cuttings.
-
Temperature: The plant prefers warm temperatures between 60-80°F (15-27°C). Avoid exposing the plant to temperatures below 55°F (13°C) or to cold drafts.
-
Repotting: Maranta NoID plants can benefit from occasional repotting to refresh the soil and provide more space for growth. Repot the plant in the spring or summer using a slightly larger pot with fresh potting soil.
With proper care, a Maranta NoID can grow into a beautiful, full-grown plant with attractive, variegated leaves that will add a touch of tropical beauty to your indoor garden.
