This plant is part of the "prayer plant" family, known for its unique leaf movements in response to light.

Care Instructions
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its vibrant coloration. Tolerates medium light but may lose some vibrancy. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its leaves.

- Feeding: Fertilize every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a diluted liquid fertilizer. Reduce feeding in fall and winter.
- Temperature: Maintain temperatures between 65°F and 80°F. Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 60°F.
- Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter, such as one formulated for tropical plants.
