The four essentials
Care at a glance
Use these basics for everyday care, then see the full guidance below.
Light
This plant thrives in bright, indirect light. Due to its variegation, it may require slightly more light than other Maranta varieties but should still be protected from direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn.
Water
Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, using filtered or distilled water to prevent mineral buildup that can damage its delicate foliage.
Humidity & temperature
Maranta 'Beauty Kim' prefers temperatures between 65°F and 80°F (18°C to 27°C). It flourishes in high humidity, so regular misting, a pebble tray, or a humidifier will help maintain optimal conditions.
Pet safety
Yes! This plant is non-toxic to pets, making it a perfect choice for homes with cats and dogs.

After delivery
Help your plant settle in
A little travel stress is normal. Keep the first few days simple.
Unpack gently
Remove the natural wood strands from the soil surface. They kept soil in place during shipping.
Check before watering
Feel the soil first and follow the plant-specific watering cue above. Do not water only because it arrived.
Let it rest
Place it in the recommended light and keep it away from heating vents, cold drafts and harsh direct sun.
Keep its nursery pot
If you chose an upgraded pot, leave the plant in its nursery pot inside it. Decorative moss may stay or be removed.
