Maranta Fascinator 12cm

🌿 Maranta leuconeura ‘Fascinator’ Care Guide

Fascinator is all about movement and colour — beautifully patterned leaves with deep green margins, feathered lime markings, and striking red veins. Famous as a Prayer Plant, its foliage gently raises and lowers throughout the day, bringing life and character to any indoor space. 🌿✨

☀️ Light

• Thrives in medium to bright, indirect light
• Avoid direct sunlight — leaves can fade or scorch
• Tolerates lower light conditions better than many tropical plants
• Bright filtered light encourages the best leaf colour and patterning

💧 Water

• Keep soil consistently lightly moist, but never soggy
• Water when the top layer of soil begins to dry
• Avoid allowing the soil to dry out completely
• Prefers filtered, rainwater, or low-mineral water where possible

🌫️ Humidity

• Prefers high humidity (60–80%)
• Higher humidity helps prevent crispy leaf edges
• Thrives in bathrooms, kitchens, or grouped with other plants
• Avoid placing near radiators or draughts

🍽️ Feeding

• Feed every 4–6 weeks during active growth
• Use a balanced liquid fertiliser at half strength
• Reduce feeding during autumn and winter

🌱 Quick Tips

• Keep temperatures warm and stable year-round
• Rotate occasionally for even growth
• Remove damaged leaves to encourage fresh growth
• Perfect for shelves, tabletops, and hanging planters
