Prayer Plant Care Guide

Light Bright, indirect light

Place in a bright spot with filtered light. Avoid harsh direct sun, which can fade or scorch the leaves.

Water Keep lightly moist

Water when the top of the soil begins to feel slightly dry. Aim for consistent, light moisture—avoid both soggy soil and complete dry-outs.

How to know it’s time: If the top layer feels drier but soil below still has some coolness, it’s a good time to water lightly and let it drain.

Humidity Moderate to higher

If your home is dry, consider a pebble tray or grouping with other plants to create a gentle humidity zone.

Temperature Keep it comfortable

Typical indoor temperatures are ideal. Protect from cold drafts and hot air vents.

Simple success rule: Maranta loves consistency—steady moisture and gentle light create the best leaf quality.
48-Hour Arrival & Unboxing

Live plants can look a little travel-worn after shipping. A quick reset helps them settle in fast.

When What to Do Why It Helps
Immediately Unbox promptly. Remove packing materials gently around the leaves. Prevents bruising and lets the plant breathe.
First 2–6 hours Place in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sun on day one. Reduces stress while it acclimates.
First 24 hours Check soil moisture before watering. Avoids overwatering right after transit.
Within 48 hours Water lightly if the top soil is slightly dry. Let it drain fully. Supports recovery without waterlogging roots.
What’s normal after shipping: Slight droop or minor leaf marks. With steady moisture and gentle light, Maranta typically rebounds quickly.

Shipping & Live Plant Handling

Live plants are packed with care and ship on a schedule designed to protect plant health in transit. Here’s what our packing process looks like—from soil protection to final presentation—so your plant arrives clean, stable, and ready to enjoy.

Our Packing & Shipping Process
STEP 1

We use wood fiber to cover our soil to help prevent soil spillage.

STEP 2

The wood fiber is placed over the soil, right under the foliage.

STEP 3

We then use a plastic bag to cover the planter and wood fiber portion of the plant.

STEP 4

Next we secure it tightly with a zip-tie.

STEP 5

We place the houseplant in a paper bag and secure it with a rubber band.

STEP 6

The paper bag provides a clean presentation and added protection.
