Maranta leuconeura ‘Red Vein’ is a vibrant Prayer Plant variety loved for its bold leaf patterning. Each leaf features deep green centres, light green edges, and striking red veins that create a dramatic contrast. True to its Prayer Plant nature, the foliage folds upward at night as if in prayer, adding movement and character to your collection. Its compact and trailing habit makes it ideal for tabletops, shelves, or hanging planters.
Why You’ll Love It ✔️
✔️ Bold red venation contrasting against lush green leaves
✔️ Leaves fold at night in a charming “prayer” motion
✔️ Easy-care plant that thrives in indoor conditions
Care Tips
🌞 Light: Bright indirect light helps maintain vibrant colours; avoid harsh direct sun
💧 Water: Keep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged; allow the top layer to slightly dry before watering again
💦 Humidity: Recommend using a humidifier to prevent leaf edges from browning
🌡 Temperature: Ideal range is 18–27°C; keep above 15°C
🌱 Soil: Use a well-draining mix of coco coir, coco chip & perlite
🪴 Support: Not required – naturally grows as a trailing, low habit
🌿 Fertiliser: Controlled-release fertiliser is in the potting mix; supplement with a balanced liquid feed during the growing season
🚫 Toxicity: We believe it’s safe, making it a good option for pet-friendly households
Bring home the vibrant Red Vein Prayer Plant and enjoy its movement and colour day and night.

75mm pot size
We get a lot of questions about how our shipping works, so here’s a simple breakdown 🌿📦
Our shipping rates are charged per box, with each box able to fit up to 8 × 75mm potted plants.
As a general guide:
• 75mm pots make the best use of space, with up to 8 plants fitting in one box
• 100mm pots take up more space, so a box will usually fit around 3 plants depending on their size and shape
If your order requires more than one box, the website will automatically add the additional shipping charge.
For example:
• Up to 8 × 75mm plants = 1 box
• Larger 100mm plants use more box space and may reduce the total number of plants that fit in each box
