🌿 Prayer Plant
Maranta leuconeura
Rhythmic. Expressive. Alive.
Prayer Plant is known for its striking patterned leaves and its daily movement. In the evening, the foliage gently folds upward, resembling hands in prayer. By morning, it opens again to welcome the light.
It is not just decorative. It is dynamic.
🪴 Care Instructions:
☀️ Light:
Bright, indirect light is ideal. Tolerates medium light. Avoid direct sun, which can fade and scorch the leaves.
💧 Water:
Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy. Allow the top inch to dry slightly between waterings. Prefers filtered or distilled water if possible, as it can be sensitive to minerals.
🌡️ Temperature:
Thrives between 65–80°F. Protect from cold drafts.
💦 Humidity:
Loves humidity. Performs best in moderate to high humidity environments. Bathrooms or kitchens with indirect light are ideal.
🌱 Soil:
Well-draining but moisture-retentive mix. A blend with peat and perlite works well.
🐾 Pet Friendly:
Yes. Prayer Plant is considered non-toxic to cats and dogs.
A beautiful option for pet households.
