Description
Maranta Leuconeura ‘Marisela’ (Prayer Plant) is native to Brazil.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Clean leaves with damp paper towel every 1-2 weeks to aid photosynthesis and stimulate growth. Check leaves and stalks for pests while cleaning. For more information on the importance of cleaning leaves, read our guide here.
If pests are found, remove with damp paper towel and use a mild organic pesticide in a spray bottle to coat the affected areas. More information on common pest problems can be found here.
Pet friendly, though monitor closely if any part of plant is ingested.
Water thoroughly once every 7 days and allow excess water to run out the drainage holes in the nursery pot or whichever vessel you transplant into. If your pot has no drainage holes, we recommend adding clay drainage balls to the bottom of the pot, however avoid overwatering. You can read some fundamental rules of watering here.
Low to high indirect light, avoid windows as they amplify the sun’s intensity and create heat that may damage plant. You can find our plant placement guidelines here.

It came in rather quickly and even though it looked a little worn out, I believe that was due to the travel I am very happy. I am very pleased with my order, it looks like it is still adapting to its new spot. We’ll see how it manages. Thank you again.

The plant came happy and healthy, but there isn’t much variegation. There’s some, I think? But it’s mostly speckling. I can’t tell, but it’s growing and taking well to my environment so I’ll just wait and see!

The plant came in great shape. It came from California to West Virginia and I love this plant.
