Maranta leuconeura Erythroneura Variegata

Calling all plant parents with a flair for the dramatic! (Yes, you!)

Looking to add a touch of the theatrical to your indoor jungle? The Maranta leuconeura Erythroneura Variegata, also known as the Prayer Plant, is here to steal the show! This fascinating fellow isn't just about stunning variegated leaves (think stripes and splotches of green, cream, and sometimes even a hint of red!), it also performs a nightly "prayer" routine, folding its leaves upwards like tiny hands in supplication. Fun fact: Prayer Plants were first discovered in the rainforests of South America in the 1800s, and scientists believe this leaf movement helps to regulate light and moisture. ✨

But the drama doesn't stop there! This Prayer Plant is also a natural air purifier, working hard to remove toxins and pollutants, leaving your home with a fresher feel – perfect for those days you need to crank the air con during those scorching summers.

Here's the best part: taking care of your Prayer Plant is easier than learning a new TikTok dance. Just give it some bright, indirect Aussie sunshine (think filtered light, not direct sun) and keep the soil slightly damp. As with any moisture loving plant, if you feel the humidity falling, or your Prayer Plant does, a daily misting of water or setting up on a pebble tray filled with water should keep it happy.

These little drama queens are flying off the shelves, so don't miss out! Add a touch of the extraordinary to your home – grab your very own Prayer Plant today!

Plant care tips for the Aussie climate:

• Sunshine: Bright, indirect light is best. Avoid harsh afternoon sun.
• Watering: Keep the soil slightly damp, but not soggy.
• Humidity: Mist regularly or use a pebble tray with water if your home gets dry.
