Verdeia tips
- Upon receipt, take the plant out of its box and allow it 24 to 48 hours to acclimate in a bright place without direct sunlight.
- Check the soil moisture before watering; add a little water only if the surface is dry.
- Avoid heat sources and drafts, and keep a slightly humid atmosphere to preserve the beauty of the foliage.
- Wait 2 to 3 weeks before any repotting, allowing the plant time to stabilize.
- Gently wipe the leaves to remove dust and observe them: slight stress during the first few days is completely normal.

Maranta leuconeura ‘Fascinator’ – Sleepy Plant / Prayer Plant
🌿 Vibrant foliage • 💧 Easy care • 🕊️ Moving leaves • 🏙️ Urban jungle • 🐾 Pet safe
The Maranta leuconeura ‘Fascinator’, also called sleepy plant or Prayer Plant, is a tropical marvel with lively and colorful foliage. Native to the humid forests of South America, it fascinates with its pink and dark green veined leaves, which gently fold at night and unfold in the morning.

Each plant being unique, slight differences in shape, foliage, or shade may exist — that is what makes them so charming!

If it has slightly suffered from transport, it will quickly regain its shape after one or two days in the light.
