Maranta leuconeura, scientific name for the prayer plant.
The leaves stand up during the day, like hands clasped in prayer. Nevertheless, at night, the leaves bend downward, resembling hands in prayer.
It is a popular choice for houseplants since it grows well in the warm, humid climates of these places.
Every leaf is a work of beauty, with exquisite green and white veining and bright red and pink markings.
The Prayer Plant is not only a lovely addition to your house, but it is also an effective natural air cleaner.
If you have a pet, you'll be happy to hear that it's safe for cats and dogs.
Prayer Plant represents determination and the ability to thrive in difficult situations.
