Green Maranta Prayer Plant Kokedama
Add a touch of rhythm and movement to your home with the Green Maranta Prayer Plant Kokedama. Native to the tropical forests of Brazil, the Maranta leuconeura is celebrated for its stunning patterned foliage and its distinctive “prayer” behavior—raising and folding its leaves in response to the light each day and night, as if in gentle meditation.
This variety features lush green leaves with elegant herringbone-like veins in lighter shades, creating a calming presence that feels alive and dynamic in any space. Hand-wrapped in vibrant green moss, the moss ball measures approximately 4 inches in diameter, making it a compact yet striking accent for shelves, desks, or small tables.

Care Instructions:
-
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but adapts well to medium light. Avoid harsh direct sun, which can scorch its delicate leaves.
-
Watering: Keep evenly moist. Soak the moss ball thoroughly, or pour 1–2 inches of water into your kokedama dish for easy watering. For best results, use distilled or filtered water, as Marantas are sensitive to chemicals and minerals in tap water.
-
Humidity: Thrives in high humidity—mist daily, place near a humidifier, or enjoy in a bathroom or kitchen.
-
Bonus Tip: Known for their sensitivity, Marantas prefer consistency. Avoid sudden changes in temperature or drafts to keep foliage lush and happy.
Each kokedama is handmade and one-of-a-kind, showcasing the natural beauty of the Green Maranta Prayer Plant in a truly living work of art.
