Know before you buy
This is a natural behavior known as nyctinasty. The plant folds its leaves upward at night to conserve moisture and protect itself, then opens them back up when the sun rises.
No, the Prayer Plant is considered toxic to pets if ingested. It is best to place this plant on a high shelf or in a room that your pets cannot access.
It prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight, as the harsh rays can scorch the leaves and cause the vibrant patterns to fade.
You can maintain humidity by misting the leaves occasionally, placing the planter on a pebble tray with water, or keeping it in a naturally humid room like a bathroom with a window.
The plant arrives pre-potted in the marble container, which is designed as a decorative cachepot. Be careful not to overwater, as excess moisture can collect at the bottom of the planter.
The Prayer Plant is classified as an intermediate-level plant. While it is rewarding to watch, it requires consistent attention to humidity and watering schedules to keep the foliage looking its best.
