Green Prayer Plant (Maranta leuconeura)

A beautiful tropical plant whose leaves gently fold each evening.

The Green Prayer Plant (Maranta leuconeura) is admired for its lush green foliage accented with intricate patterns and its fascinating nightly movement. As daylight fades, the leaves slowly lift upward, resembling hands folded in prayer—a unique trait that makes this plant a favorite among houseplant enthusiasts.

Each Prayer Plant at Will O Wisp Botanicals is carefully repotted into a decorative sage green pot, finished with LECA clay pebbles, and includes our exclusive botanical care tag featuring symbolism and simple care instructions.
