Why Is It Called a Prayer Plant?

The Prayer Plant gets its name from its daily leaf movements, a phenomenon known as nyctinasty. During the day, the leaves lay flat to absorb light, but at night, they fold upward, resembling praying hands. This rhythmic movement is controlled by changes in light levels, making it one of the most interactive and dynamic houseplants you can own!

Please Note

Natural variations in leaf patterns and colours occur. Some minor cosmetic imperfections may be present but do not affect the plant’s health.
