The Maranta Leuconeura, also known as the Prayer Plant, because it’s leaves stay flat and open up during the day, then fold up like praying hands at night. It originate from Central and South America and has beautiful deep green, velvety leaves with a yellow centre and veiny red stripes. It’s awesome and it looks like a different plant if you get out of bed in the middle of the night.
Looks good in our Seagrass Pot and Eno Pot.
