🌿 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.

Maranta leuconeura 'Silver Band', known as the Silver Band Prayer Plant, is a compact tropical houseplant native to the Brazilian rainforest. It’s part of the Marantaceae family, which includes other popular "prayer plants" known for their gentle leaf movement — lifting up at night and relaxing down by day. What makes 'Silver Band' stand out is its beautiful, understated foliage: each soft, oval leaf has a shimmering silver stripe running down the center, framed by deep green margins and a subtle midrib halo.
This variety stays compact, usually reaching 10–12 inches tall and wide, and grows in a low, horizontal, spreading habit — ideal for tabletops or shelf edges. Its leaves have a velvety texture and a slightly trailing form, slowly filling out the pot with new shoots over time.
To many, 'Silver Band' resembles a smaller Calathea, and that’s no surprise — they belong to the same plant family. The leaf shape, velvety texture, and silver striping are similar to varieties like Calathea picturata or Calathea orbifolia. However, 'Silver Band' is more compact, less fussy, and generally easier to grow indoors. While Calatheas often grow upright and need very specific conditions, 'Silver Band' is more forgiving and creeps outward in a tidy clump. If you love the look of Calatheas but want something a little more relaxed in care, this plant is a great choice.
Provide bright, indirect light to maintain the vibrant silver stripe and healthy growth. Direct sunlight should be avoided, as it can bleach the leaf color and cause browning.
Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, keeping the soil consistently moist but never soggy. Using filtered or dechlorinated water is ideal, as Marantas can be sensitive to tap water chemicals.
This plant thrives in high humidity and may struggle in dry indoor air. Use a humidifier, place it in a bathroom with good light, or set the pot on a pebble tray to boost moisture around the plant.
Use a well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter, such as a blend of peat moss or coco coir with perlite. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot while maintaining steady moisture.
This plant is non-toxic to pets and humans, making it a safe choice for households with cats, dogs, or children.
