Maranta leuconeura 'Fascinator' (also sold as 'Tricolor') is a compact, low-growing prayer plant with some of the most intricate leaf patterning of any houseplant: a herringbone of dark burgundy veins over a pale green centre, flanked by darker green margins. The undersides are a deep purple-red. It stays low and bushy, spreading outward rather than climbing, and works well on a tabletop or as ground cover in a larger planter.

Origins
Native to the tropical forests of Brazil, Maranta leuconeura grows on the forest floor in warm, humid, shaded conditions. The nyctinastic leaf movement (folding at night) is a natural response to changes in light.

Soil and Substrate
Our Simply Houseplant Tropical Potting Mix provides a well-draining, peat-free blend that retains enough moisture for this species.
