PRAYER PLANT CARE | Maranta Tips & Tricks

Great information. Very detailed. Provided all the information I was looking for!

Oh my goodness you gave me such a wonderful lesson on my new plant, thank you!!

I just bought a small one that needs to be reported but not sure when.

This video was very informative & straight to the point! Enjoyed it a lot, hope my red Maranta gets its health back soon :D ^^

What does it mean when some of the lower leaves are going down instead of up?

Meth is bad, mmmmkay

Hi! Thanks for you video! I just got a new prayer plant. Do I need to repot it with fresh soil if the roots do not look crowded?

My maranta always grows tiny leaves when I move it from one place to the other or if I’ve overwatered -_-

'Leuconeura' as in 'leukos' = White, 'neura' = Nerves 😃

Another tip: I stumbled upon this tidbit when I found the little plastic tag that came with the plant… On the back it stated that this type of plant is extremely sensitive to fluoride and chlorine, both of which are in our tap water. My plant had really been struggling, with the leaves browning and getting crispy. I removed the dead/dying leaves and began watering with distilled water, and she came back to life!

I'm on my second go around, with prayer plant's and hope your info pays off. In California we obviously have tons of sunshine but dry weather definitely hot during the summer. Wish me luck 🤞 😊

Got one for my leopard geckos terrarium, I was already going to use a drainage layer and a lighter soil, but I’ll be moving it to the humid side. Thanks!

Brilliant video I think u covered just about everything I wanted to know. I have just got a lemon & lime maranta so really appreciate all this info. Thank you xxx 🌱🪴

Hi. Thank you for this video. Mine is just getting smaller and smaller leaves. It is placed at 50cm of a south window, could it be too much light for it ?

Great video and you are too cute

In a small village nestled in the mountains of ancient Mesopotamia, there was a healer who was renowned for her ability to cure the sick and bring life back to wilting plants. The villagers called her the "plant witch," as it seemed that she had a special bond with the natural world and could command the plants to grow and thrive.

One day, a young boy brought her a small, delicate plant with bright green leaves that seemed to shimmer in the sunlight. The boy had found the plant growing on the side of a rocky cliff, and he believed that it had special powers.

The healer took the plant and examined it closely. She had never seen anything like it before, and she was immediately struck by its beauty. She placed the plant in a special pot and tended to it carefully, watering it and tending to its every need.

As the days passed, the healer noticed that the plant seemed to have a special energy about it. It seemed to thrive even in the most difficult of circumstances, and it seemed to bring life and vitality to the other plants around it.

The healer began to experiment with using the plant to heal her patients. She brewed teas from its leaves and applied its extract to cuts and wounds, and she found that it had a miraculous ability to speed up the healing process and reduce pain.

Word of the plant's medicinal properties spread far and wide, and soon people came from all over the region to seek out the healer and her miraculous plant. And so, the prayer plant became known as the "healer's plant," and it was used to bring health and vitality to all those who used it.

I bought one and it has a "vine" (for lack of the correct word) that is growing to the side complete with leaves? Is there a way to make this start to grow upright like a normal plant lol?

Hi. Great Vidio. I just would like to say my maranta grew like crazy, blooms as well during the heatwave we had the summer gone by here in the UK. Temp was around 90° average I think and humidity also very high, like 75- 85 average. Was about three feet in an east facing window. The previous winter, which was the first winter I had it, I lost one half of the side bush which I think was due to the cold and draught from the window. Ive now put it in a clear greenhouse thingy, temp is average of 18° atm. Looks like it's doing ok and has no more yellowing leaves which had started to happen when it got colder and I might have overwatered. Your Vidios are so much help and I love your personality. Thanks so much for making these and sorry for long comment.

This was such a detailed video! Thank you so much!

Very informative and helpful thanks 🙏

I just found your channel. Excellent! I love my Maranta plant. It was a surprise gift and I really enjoy it.

how did you get rid of the thrips though?

Love your video oh my God you are awesome I already knew a lot what you have said but as I'm getting older and I live in a jungle LOL I think you know what I mean can't wait to see your other videos thank you so very much God bless you and please be safe Kim

What about crispy leaves?

I want to know about lecca. Please make a video.

Informative

Thank you! :)

Such a fussy plant . Killed one. And bought another one.
My house is superhot in the summer and very cold in the winter. I may give it to my aunt lol. Her house climate has better control. A lovely plant...Just too finikey for me

which fertilizer do you recommend for a maranta? also how do i get rid of the yellow spots on my stems of my maranta?

Yep, you answered my problem, thanks a mil. Great video

I just got one of these from my mom thanks for the tips!

Hi, are we able to use heat pads to keep them warm ?

My red maranta does go up at night but in the day it droops so far it’s practically vertical. It sits about 2 metres back from a south facing window with no direct light and its on a pebble tray for humidity, not sure what I’m doing wrong 🤷🏼‍♀️

this was very helpful

Thank you so much, inherited my mom's and transpoted between provinces has not been doing well it has been progressively dying, don't want to loose it

I wonder about the soil because maybe that's where I made the my mistake maybe you can do a video on that.

Do you know why my prayer plant doesn't raise his leaves at all? And it doesn't stand up like yours. It just droops over.

Your prayer plants are beautiful 🪴

thank you for this video! :)

My red maranta opens up in the evening and stays up all night. Is this a problem? Just curious. Thanks for making these videos!

Hi Emma! I have a question about propagating this beautiful plant! My maranta is getting so full that one node is holding about five leaves and I see that it is weighing that branch down. Should I propagate this node or is it a watering issue?

Your Maranta is GORGEOUS!! I've finally learned to care for my Maranta and it's been getting these long, thin stalks with the tiniest and daintiest, light lilac flowers that remind me of Orchids, have yours done that? I was shocked because I never knew they produced flowers!!❤️🥰

Great info honey-thank you!

My relationship with this plant is tumultuous. I got it because it looked beautiful and I’m slowly coming to hate it. 😅 thanks for the relationship counseling I’ll work on some of your suggestions. 😂

I just bought one of these from Facebook market and the seller had loads of plants and I over bought and now I’m panic researching😅😭

You talk more about the red one and not the other I have the other one …..

I thought you were Emma chamberlain 😳

This was perfect, thank you for the information.

Thank you🙂 This video was very helpful ^^

I have just acquired a red veined prayer plant from my grandfather and it had some pothos that grew into it because they were put close together and my grandfather didn’t think to keep them from growing together. Sooo... I have pothos vines/roots in the same pot with my prayer plant. After watching this video I have a few questions.
1) should I try to separate the maranta from the pothos plants that have taken over in its pot?.
2) if the answer to question 1 is yes.... then what is the safest way to go about it without harming either of the plants?
3) Or should I just leave it and hope for the best?
