Prayer Plant

The Prayer Plant flaunts a striking display of patterned foliage. Its name originated from the fact that the unique-looking leaves remain flat during the day but fold up, resembling praying hands, at night. The decorative foliage is usually tri-coloured, featuring deep green, velvet-like sheets with red veins and yellow splotches along the center.

Varieties: Rabbit Tracks, Herringbone

Lighting: This plant requires indirect, bright light in order to maintain its beautiful colouring.

Irrigation: Allow the soil to slightly dry between thorough irrigations. Water until liquid runs from drainage holes at the bottom of the pot and discard excess water. Do not allow your plant to sit in standing water as it will lead to root rot.

Humidity: Prayer plants prefer environments with higher moisture levels. You can add humidity around your plant by using a mister, pebble tray, or humidifier.

Fertilizer: Feed once a month during the summer using a balanced fertilizer. Follow package recommendations.
