Description

Maranta leuconeura var. erythroneura, commonly known as the Red Prayer Plant or Herringbone Plant, is a tropical evergreen perennial native to Brazil. It is celebrated for its striking foliage—deep green, velvety leaves adorned with vivid red veins and light green midribs. The plant exhibits a unique diurnal movement known as nyctinasty, where its leaves fold upward at night, resembling hands in prayer. Thriving in warm, humid environments with indirect light, the Red Prayer Plant is a popular choice for indoor cultivation. While it rarely flowers indoors, it may produce small, white to purple flowers under optimal conditions.

Distinctive red-veined, oval-shaped leaves with a velvety texture.
Nyctinastic movement: leaves fold upward at night and open during the day.
Prefers high humidity and indirect light, making it ideal for indoor environments.
