Details

The Maranta Leuconeura, commonly known as the Prayer Plant, is a captivating houseplant admired for its vibrant, oval-shaped leaves with intricate patterns of light and dark green and stunning red veins. Its name comes from the unique way its leaves fold upward in the evening, resembling praying hands, adding a dynamic and meditative touch to any home.

Native to the tropical forests of South America, this plant thrives in warm, humid environments, making it a perfect choice for brightening your indoor space. Whether placed on a shelf, table, or hanging basket, the Prayer Plant brings a lively and lush vibe to your decor.

Care Instructions

  • Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but adapts to medium-light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its delicate leaves.

  • Soil: Use a well-draining, nutrient-rich potting mix with organic matter.

  2. Does the Prayer Plant really move?
    Yes, its leaves fold upward at night and open again in the morning, a movement called nyctinasty, making it a dynamic addition to your home.
