Maranta 'Leuconeura' - Nightly Novena: 8" Pot Prayer Plant with Striking Symmetrical Foliage

Meet Nightly Novena, your new favorite leafy companion. Known formally as Maranta Leuconeura but lovingly referred to as the Prayer Plant, this evergreen perennial brings a splash of tropical splendor straight from Central and South America to your cozy corner. Its oval, flat leaves boast a distinctive line pattern that appears almost artistically symmetrical—Mother Nature was feeling extra creative with this one. Oh, and did we mention it "prays"? At night, its leaves fold up like hands in prayer, making you wonder if it's blessing your living room... or just showing off.

Benefits:

• Air-Purifying: Clears those pesky pollutants right out of your airspace.
• Low Maintenance: Perfect for those of us who are better at buying plants than keeping them alive.
• Interactive Foliage: Watch as it folds its leaves like hands in prayer each night!
• Pet-Friendly: Safe for your curious fur babies.

Care Instructions:

Nightly Novena thrives in bright, indirect light but is also a-ok with low light settings. Keep its soil moist but not soggy, and don't let it sit in standing water—it’s like a spa day, not a drowning. A light misting from a spray bottle every now and then keeps it happy and hydrated. For best results, avoid cold drafts and changing its prayer position suddenly—Nightly Novena's feelings might get hurt.

Décor Tips:

Pair Nightly Novena with a chic ceramic pot or a rustic basket to play up its tropical charm. Place it on a side table where you can admire its nightly prayer routine or in a bookshelf to add a pop of green to your reading nook. You’ll be thanking yourself (and us) for this leafy prayer warrior.
