Know before you buy
No, this plant is not considered pet-safe. It is best to keep it in a location that your pets cannot easily reach.
Yes, the Prayer Plant is known for its nyctinasty, meaning its leaves fold upward at night like hands in prayer and flatten out during the day to catch light.
It means the plant should be placed near a window where it receives plenty of natural light, but never direct sun rays, which can scorch the delicate leaves.
Check the soil moisture by sticking your finger about an inch into the potting mix. If it feels nearly dry to the touch, it is time to water.
Absolutely. Its trailing, wide-spreading growth habit makes it an excellent choice for hanging baskets, where its foliage can gracefully drape over the sides.
The Red Veined Prayer Plant prefers temperatures between 60°F and 75°F. It is quite adaptable, but you should avoid placing it near drafty windows or heating vents.
