✨ Why You'll Love It
Striking burgundy-black leaves with shimmering silver-pink veins create a dramatic focal point
Perfect medium size (12 cm pot, 25 cm tall)—ideal for desks, shelves, or bedside tables
Compact habit suits small flats and brings big visual impact
Air-purifying and non-toxic to pets—stylish and safe
🌞 Light & Placement
Thrives in bright, indirect light commonly found near north or east-facing windows in European homes. Avoid direct midday sun to protect its foliage from burning.
💧 Water & Humidity
Keep evenly moist but never waterlogged—water when top 1–2 cm of soil feels slightly dry. Prefers 50–70 % humidity—ideal for kitchens or bathrooms; misting or pebble tray helps in dry rooms.
🪴 Soil & Potting
Plant in a peat-free, well-draining mix enriched with perlite. Repot every 1–2 years to refresh nutrients and support steady growth.
🐾 Toxicity & Safety
Non-toxic to cats and dogs—safe around curious paws and snouts.
🌱 Growth & Propagation
Grows slowly into a lush clump ~30 cm wide. Propagate easily via leaf or stem cuttings—perfect for creating new plants to share!
📆 Seasonal & Special Care
Reduce watering in winter. Remove yellowing leaves promptly. During spring and summer, pinch off spent stems to encourage bushier growth.
🐛 Common Issues
Leaf edge brown: From low humidity—consider a humidifier or tray.
Powdery mildew or rot: Overwatering or poor airflow—improve air circulation and reduce moisture.
🧬 Botanical Background

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.
