House Plants

Description

Maranta leuconeura (Prayer plant) is a fun houseplant with interesting striped foliage. The leaves naturally rise and fall through the day imitating that of praying hands, hence the name. These plants prefer moist soil, but never soggy, and can benefit from added humidity and fertilizer. Avoid placing this plant in direct sunlight as the intensity of colors will dull.
