Care
Place your Maranta Fascinator Prayer Plant in bright indirect light and avoid harsh direct sunlight, which can damage its delicate leaves.
Keep the compost consistently slightly moist but avoid waterlogging. This tropical plant enjoys higher humidity, so regular misting or placing it near other plants can help maintain healthy growth.
Use room-temperature water where possible and remove any damaged leaves to encourage fresh foliage.
