The Maranta Red Prayer Plant has soft dark green leaves with feathered, painterly-like centers of light green and red veins. The colorful foliage and slow growth make this a perfect plant for window sills, mantles, or shelves in need of a splash of color.

The Red Prayer Plant is an easy plant — place it in a sunny spot, keep its soil damp, and mist its leaves once a week and it will flourish.

Gaining its name from the way the leaves fold in the evening resembling hands folded in prayer, the Red Prayer Plant is a fan favorite among plant enthusiasts. Native to the rainforests of Brazil, the Prayer Plant prefers bright, indirect sunlight and high humidity.
