This distinctive plant has stunning green leaves with red veins and pink undersides. It earned its name because of the way the leaves fold together at night, like hands closed in prayer. Best known for its colourful, patterned leaves that move up and down with daylight, the Prayer Plant is, of course, a member of the Calathea family. Comes with a perfectly fitting ceramic Capri pot.
What you might not know about this colourful Calathea, is that the Prayer Plant is actually a trailing plant and in more mature specimens you’ll see it start to grow horizontally and eventually trail downwards with its colourful leaves cascading.
