Maranta leuconeura 'Prayer Plant'

Graceful and grounding, Maranta leuconeura is the kind of plant that moves with intention — literally. Its leaves rise and fold with the rhythm of light, like a little green prayer at dawn and dusk. Vivid green with striking red veins and oval markings, it’s equal parts art and ritual.

A total sweetheart in the right conditions, this prayer plant thrives in indirect light, loves humidity, and enjoys regular watering. Keep the vibes moist and gentle, and it will thank you with constant motion and vibrant foliage.

🪴 Bigfoot’s Tip: Sensitive to tap water — filtered or distilled helps prevent browning. And if it looks a little droopy? That’s just its bedtime routine.
