Can My Prayer Plant Thrive on a North-Facing Windowsill in the UK?

Hey everyone! I'm curious if a Maranta fascinator (or prayer plant) can thrive on a north-facing windowsill here in the UK. Also, what's the best watering schedule for it? Thanks a bunch!

It might be a bit challenging without much direct sunlight since north-facing windows don’t get a lot of light. If you can't move it, consider getting a small grow light to give it a boost! Also, humidity is key for these plants; what's the humidity level like in that room? I use oil diffusers with just water to help increase humidity, and it works wonders! For watering, just check if the top inch of the soil feels dry and give it a drink then. My Maranta is super happy, actually flowering right now!

I don’t have a grow light, and the RHS website says a north window should be okay. Should I really be worried? What if I’m not sure about the humidity?
