Plant Care

Light: Maranta Red Prayer Plants thrive in bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves. Place it near a north or east-facing window where it can receive filtered sunlight or use sheer curtains to diffuse direct sunlight.

Temperature: Maintain a warm environment with temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Avoid exposing the plant to cold drafts or temperatures below 55°F (13°C).

Humidity: Maranta Red Prayer Plants appreciate high humidity levels. Increase humidity by misting the plant regularly, using a humidity tray, or placing a humidifier nearby. This is crucial to prevent leaf browning or curling.

Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch (2.5 cm) of the soil feels slightly dry to the touch. Watering needs may vary depending on your home's conditions, so check the soil regularly.

Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix with good aeration. A mix formulated for tropical plants or a blend of potting soil, perlite, and peat moss works well.

Fertilization: Feed your Maranta Red Prayer Plant with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Avoid fertilizing during the dormant season (fall and winter).

Pruning: Trim or pinch back leggy or dead growth to maintain the plant's shape and encourage bushier growth.

Repotting: Repot your plant when it becomes root-bound or outgrows its container, typically every 1-2 years. Choose a slightly larger pot with proper drainage.

Pests: Keep an eye out for common indoor plant pests like spider mites or mealybugs. Treat any infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil.

Leaf Movement: Maranta Red Prayer Plants exhibit nyctinasty, where the leaves fold upward in the evening and open again in the morning. This is a natural response to light changes and is not a sign of stress.

Extremely effective product
Such a great product. Really works well on chapped, dry hands during winter or to maintain healthy skin in other conditions. There really isn't a scent, it smells kind of plastic-y but that's fine with me when the results are so good. Hard to find in my area, so happy Amazon carries this brand.

Just what I was looking for!!
So far,so good. It s the first time I have been trying this product. I really like it. I was looking for something to help me for dryness due to the cold weather and excess of hand washing because of my job. I work in a microbiology lab, so I am costantly washing my hands and they tent to get dry with the specific soap we have to use. I like to feel my hands humected but not sticky. I tried several brands but never got quite convinced to by a brand again because I as not satisfied at all. This hand cream is ligher compared to many others but really protects and leaves your hands soft. You use it once or twice a day and they are still soft.

Miracle cream!
This cream is unbelievable. goes in instantly, makes hands soft after one application and creates a barrier to protect your hands against cold and water. I live in VT and have tried numerous "extreme" hand creams that are heavy and greasy and useless~ this one is the best. I also like that it is fragrance-free except for that mild "Avene" spring water smell. I have two tubes, one for my night table and one next to the kitchen sink. I am 47 and have tried numerous face and body products`` you could say I used to be a "junkie" :) but I always come back to Avene. I have extremely sensitive skin and Avene products are a life saver.
