Know before you buy
No, the plant is shipped in a nursery container. You will need to provide your own decorative pot or planter.
This is a natural behavior called nyctinasty. The plant adjusts its leaf position to track light during the day and folds them upward at night to conserve moisture and protect its foliage.
The Maranta prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves and cause the vibrant patterns to fade.
Keep the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. It is best to water when the top inch of soil feels slightly dry to the touch.
Because each plant is a living organism, your specimen will be comparable in health and quality to the listing photo, but individual leaf count, size, and shape will vary.
