Maranta Silver Band

Maranta ‘Silver Band’

Delicate yet striking, the Maranta ‘Silver Band’ is a prayer plant variety admired for its elegant, oval-shaped leaves. Each leaf features a rich green background highlighted by a soft, silvery stripe running down the center, framed by subtle veining. In the evening, the leaves gently fold upward—earning the nickname “prayer plant”—bringing movement and life to your indoor space.

This compact beauty typically reaches 8–12 inches tall and spreads up to 12 inches wide, making it ideal for shelves, desks, and small plant groupings.

Care Instructions:

• Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light but tolerates lower light levels; avoid direct sun to prevent leaf scorch.
• Water: Keep the soil evenly moist, allowing the top half-inch to dry between waterings.
• Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity; occasional misting helps prevent leaf edges from browning.
• Temperature: Maintain between 18–27°C (65–80°F) and avoid sudden temperature changes.
• Feeding: Fertilize monthly during spring and summer with a diluted, balanced houseplant fertilizer.
