The Fishbone Prayer Plant (Maranta leucantha) is a unique and eye-catching houseplant, known for its striking, elongated leaves featuring vibrant green foliage with rich burgundy veins that resemble the delicate pattern of fish bones.

Care Instructions:

  • Light: Prefers bright indirect light but can tolerate low light. Avoid direct sunlight, which may cause the leaves to fade.
  • Water: Keep the soil consistently moist, watering when the top inch feels dry. Ensure the pot has good drainage to avoid soggy roots.
  • Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 65°F and 80°F; protect from cold drafts.
  • Humidity: Loves high humidity; mist regularly or place near a humidifier. If you can mist it when you water it, the plant will enjoy that, but if you don’t have anything to mist it with, the plant will be okay.
  • Fertilizer: Feed every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer.
  • Soil: Look for soil specific to houseplants that drains well.
  • Pets: Safe for pets.

Why You’ll Love It: The Fishbone Prayer Plant captivates with its intricate foliage and gentle movement, as its leaves fold up at night in a 'praying' motion. This unique characteristic, combined with its vibrant colors, makes it a conversation piece in any room.
