The **Prayer Plant** (Maranta leuconeura) is a stunning indoor plant known for its vibrant, patterned leaves and unique habit of folding its leaves upward at night, resembling hands in prayer. Native to Brazil, it features green leaves with red veins and yellowish markings, making it an attractive addition to any space. It thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers consistently moist soil, though it should never be waterlogged. High humidity is ideal, so misting or using a humidifier helps. The Prayer Plant is also an excellent air purifier, removing toxins and improving indoor air quality, making it a beautiful and beneficial houseplant.
