Pruning Prayer Plant Flower Spikes for Better Foliage

Prayer plant (Maranta) flowers are charming but drain energy from leaf production. Snip the flower stem at the base once blooms fade—or even when they first open—to redirect vigor to foliage.

Ongoing Care

• Keep soil consistently moist.
• Mist daily or use a humidifier.
• Feed every two weeks during growth.
• Place in bright shade; direct sun bleaches colors.

Regular grooming keeps your prayer plant lush and vibrant.
