The Green Prayer Plant, also known as Green Maranta, is a stunning tropical houseplant admired for its oval-shaped, vibrant green leaves marked with prominent red veins and purple patterns. This eye-catching foliage gives the plant a unique, decorative appeal.
A member of the Marantaceae family, it’s named for its distinctive behavior: at night, the leaves fold upward like hands in prayer, a movement known as nyctinasty.
This plant is low-growing & relatively easy to care for indoors.
It’s also pet-friendly and non-toxic to cats and dogs.
