Mother’s Day Gift – Maranta in Ceramic Pot with Botanical Candle
Some gifts say thank you in the gentlest way. Our Maranta in a simple ceramic pot, paired with a beautifully scented candle from our handmade botanical range poured in a golden tin, makes a heartfelt Mother’s Day gift — calm, lasting and full of warmth.
The Maranta, often called the Prayer Plant, folds its leaves each evening as though in reflection. Its graceful rhythm mirrors the patience, care and quiet strength that so many mothers show without ever asking for praise. It’s a gift that says thank you for the little things — the steady love, the soft encouragement, the presence that keeps everything balanced.
The candle adds a final note of light and calm — soft fragrance, warm glow and stillness. Together, they make a deeply personal gesture of appreciation, perfect for celebrating the women who nurture, guide and comfort us — mothers, grandmothers, stepmothers, or simply those who have loved like one.
We’ll include a free handwritten card with your message. Just add your words at checkout and we’ll wrap it beautifully, removing all pricing before delivery.
Size
Plant: 12 cm nursery pot, presented in a 13 cm ceramic pot.
Candle: 75 g gold tin, natural soy wax for a clean, even burn.
Native habitat and growth pattern
The Maranta grows in Brazil’s tropical forests, under the shelter of taller trees. It thrives in soft, filtered light, opening and closing its leaves each day in a natural rhythm — a quiet symbol of care, balance and renewal.
Styling at home
The ceramic pot’s smooth, timeless finish makes it a lovely addition to any room — from kitchen windowsills to bedroom dressers. Its understated form lets the Maranta’s patterned leaves and the candle’s warm glow take centre stage, creating a calm, comforting corner of home.
Care requirements
Bright, indirect light is ideal. Keep the soil lightly moist but not soggy, allowing the top few centimetres to dry before watering again. Mist occasionally or group with other plants for humidity. Feed monthly in spring and summer with Happy Houseplants Organic Tropical Plant Food to keep the foliage lush and healthy.
Why choose this Mother’s Day gift
Because love deserves something that lasts. This Maranta and candle pairing captures quiet strength, patience and warmth — a living reminder of the care we’re lucky enough to receive.
Interesting facts
The Maranta’s nightly folding, known as nyctinasty, has long been associated with reflection and peace. Many find it comforting to watch — a natural rhythm that mirrors care given freely, day after day.
