🌿 Prayer Plant (Maranta) – Colorful, Pet-Safe Tropical Beauty
Description
The Prayer Plant (Maranta) is a striking evergreen perennial native to Central and South America, admired for its oval-shaped leaves adorned with symmetrical vein patterns that often appear painted by hand. Its name comes from its unique nightly ritual—at dusk, the leaves fold upward like hands in prayer, then relax again at sunrise.
With its bold patterns, lush green tones, and red-to-pink vein highlights (variety dependent), the Prayer Plant adds instant personality to any indoor plant collection. Compact and pet-safe, it’s an ideal choice for tabletops, plant shelves, and low-light rooms.
