  •   Maranta Variegated 'Beauty Kim', also called Variegated Prayer Plant, is a rare tropical houseplant from the Marantaceae family, native to the rainforests of Brazil. It belongs to the same genus as Maranta leuconeura and carries the same nyctinasty behavior, folding its leaves upward at night and opening them again by morning.

      The leaves are oval and broad, patterned with irregular patches of cream, pale green, and deeper green across the surface, with each leaf marked differently from the next. Undersides carry a faint pink or burgundy-red tone, and the overall variegation shifts slightly depending on light levels. 'Beauty Kim' stays compact and low-growing, spreading outward rather than climbing.

      Flower information specific to this cultivar is limited, but like other marantas, it can produce small, pale lavender or white blooms on slender stems during warmer months. Beyond that, 'Beauty Kim' purifies indoor air and filters formaldehyde and other toxins from the environment. It releases oxygen at night, which sets it apart from many common houseplants.

      Keep 'Beauty Kim' away from south-facing windows, as direct sun scorches the leaves. It thrives near a kitchen where ambient moisture from cooking and running water keeps humidity naturally higher. Terrarium setups work well for it, since the enclosed environment holds the humidity it needs. This plant is pet friendly, and its rarity makes it a sought-after addition for collectors of variegated tropicals.

  •   Maranta Variegated 'Beauty Kim' thrives in bright indirect light, away from south-facing windows that cause leaf scorch.

      Water it every seven to ten days, allowing the top inch of soil to dry between waterings.

      'Beauty Kim' does best in a well-draining, peat-based mix with added perlite for aeration.

      It prefers temperatures between 65°F and 80°F and is sensitive to cold drafts from air conditioners or heating vents.

      'Beauty Kim' is a slow to moderate grower; feed it with a balanced liquid fertilizer once a month during spring and summer.

      It is hardy in USDA zones 11 and 12, where frost does not occur and temperatures stay above 40°F year-round. It grows outdoors in Hawaii and the southernmost parts of Florida. In all other states, it performs as an indoor tropical houseplant year-round, though it can move outside for summer in containers when nighttime temperatures stay reliably above 60°F.
  • Q: Is Maranta Variegated 'Beauty Kim' safe for cats and dogs?
    A: Yes, this plant is non-toxic and pet friendly, safe for households with cats and dogs.

    Q: How do I know when it needs water?
    A: Maranta Variegated 'Beauty Kim' wilts slightly when the soil has been dry too long. Check the top inch of soil, and water when it feels dry to the touch.

    Q: Can 'Beauty Kim' grow under office lighting?
    A: Yes, it adapts well to grow under office LED lighting as long as the light runs for several hours each day.

    Q: How sensitive is it to being moved?
    A: 'Beauty Kim' can drop leaves or slow growth after being relocated. Once you find a stable spot, keep it there and rotate it in place periodically for even growth rather than moving it to a new location.

    Q: Does Variegated Prayer Plant need high humidity?
    A: Yes, it needs high humidity to stay healthy. Keep it away from air conditioner vents and heaters, and mist regularly or use a humidifier nearby.

    Q: What happens if I put it too close to a sunny window?
    A: Variegated Prayer Plant scorches easily in direct sun, leaving pale or brown patches on the leaves. A north- or east-facing window, or a spot set back from a bright south or west window, works better.

    🌿 For Houseplants
    When your package arrives, you may notice a bit of loose soil in the box. This is completely normal during shipping.
    Please remove your plants from their packaging as soon as possible and review the care instructions included with your order. Water based on your plant’s needs, making sure not to overwater.
    Houseplants may need a short adjustment period after arrival. Give your plant time to acclimate to its new space before placing it with other plants. You can gently clean the leaves if needed, and wait to fertilize until it has settled in. Always check soil moisture instead of watering on a fixed schedule.
    *** We pack carefully to protect each plant during transit, so larger orders may arrive in multiple packages.
