Leaf drop – often from sudden temperature changes or cold drafts
Crispy edges – due to low humidity or underwatering
Powdery mildew – ensure good air circulation and avoid overhead watering

Beautiful, Fast-Growing Prayer Plant!
I am genuinely impressed with my Maranta leuconeura—it’s one of the happiest plants in my collection! It arrived healthy and vibrant, with rich green leaves and those signature red veins that make it such a showstopper. But what really blew me away is how quickly it started growing.
The shipping was quick and smooth, and you can really tell the seller took care to protect the plant during transit.

Absolutely Stunning Plant – Healthy and Vibrant!
I couldn’t be happier with my Calathea makoyana! It arrived in perfect condition, well-packaged, with no damage to the leaves or soil.
This was my first time ordering a plant online, and the whole experience was smooth and professional. I’ll definitely be coming back for more! Highly recommend for anyone looking to add a statement plant to their indoor jungle.
