Maranta Cat Moustache, often referred to as the Maranta NoID or Dark Maranta, is a mysterious and highly sought-after prayer plant treasured for its deep, velvety green leaves traced with fine silver veins. The delicate vein pattern fans outward from the midrib like tiny cat whiskers, earning it its charming nickname. Native to the tropical forests of South America, particularly Brazil, this Maranta displays classic prayer plant behaviour. Its leaves gently fold upward at night, adding movement and personality to any space. Rare, elegant, and full of character, this plant is a favourite among collectors.

What to expect

The plant comes with a default nursery pot. The nursery pot is usually 0.5" - 1" smaller than stated to fit into the same size decorative pot. Washable Paper Planter Bags are sold separately.

As with all living things, no two plants are alike. There is some natural variation in size, shape, and characteristics. We make every effort to bring you a plant that as closely as possible matches the plant as it appears on our website, in the size you have chosen, and have a good potential to happily grow in your home.

Care Guide

How to take care of Maranta Cat Moustache

Sun: Indirect

Maranta Cat Moustache should not be in a position to see the sun directly, although early morning or late evening sun is fine. Filtered sunlight through a sheer curtain is best and most homes are comprised primarily of indirect sunlight. The best spot for them is where they do not see the sun during the majority of the day but still get bright, indirect light.

Light: Medium - Bright

Maranta Cat Moustache will thrive in bright light, but also can tolerate medium light. A good medium-light place in your home would be in the middle of a room that has a regular size window. They can be placed anywhere between the middle of the room and the window. Remember that plants will grow based on how much light they receive.

Water: When half dry

Maranta Cat Moustache needs to be watered when the top half of the soil is dry to the touch. That usually takes about 1 week in an average home environment. It will vary depending on the time of year, your environment and lighting conditions, but it's always safer to underwater or give the soil a check before you water again.

Humidity: High

Maranta Cat Moustache likes a high humidity environment, give them a mist daily or as often as possible. Alternatively, you can put them around a humidifier. Although they won't die if they don't receive enough humidity, their leaves may have some dry, crunchy, or yellow edges.

Pet Friendly

You can feel comfortable having Maranta Cat Moustache around your home in the potential case where your pet feels like nibbling on it. However, we typically recommend keeping your pets from eating any of your houseplants.

Plant Bio

About Maranta Cat Moustache

Botanical Name: Maranta leuconeura ‘Massangeana’ (NoID)

Common Name: Maranta Cat Moustache, Dark Maranta, Prayer Plant

Origin: Tropical South America (Brazil)

Plant Story

Introducing the Maranta Cat Moustache, an enchanting and slightly mysterious prayer plant that celebrates individuality, intuition, and the beauty of the undefined. With its soft movement and whisker-like markings, it symbolizes curiosity, gentleness, and the freedom of not needing a label to be special.

Often referred to as Maranta leuconeura ‘Massangeana,’ this elusive beauty is affectionately known as the Maranta NoID — a plant without an official identity, yet overflowing with personality. Native to the tropical forests of South America, particularly Brazil, its deep green leaves are brushed with elegant silver veins that fan outward like delicate cat whiskers, giving rise to its charming nickname, “Cat Moustache.”

True to prayer plant form, its leaves gently shift with the light, lifting and folding as evening approaches. It thrives in bright, indirect light and appreciates consistently moist soil, teaching us the value of responsiveness — listening closely and adjusting with care. Too much harsh sun dulls its magic, while soft light allows its markings to truly shine.

Compact and low-growing, this Maranta spreads gracefully, creating a lush, comforting presence rather than reaching upward. Its growth reminds us that not all beauty strives for height — some of it spreads quietly, filling space with calm and connection.

Welcome the Maranta Cat Moustache into your home, and let it charm you with its symbolism of curiosity, gentleness, and unapologetic uniqueness. It’s not just a plant; it’s a reminder that you don’t need a perfect label to be deeply loved.
