Add Your Opinion About This Plant
very easy to grow.
Keep out of direct sunlight to protect the leaf color. Underside tends to be maroon in color, while the tops are two tone with reddish veins with a row of dark brown or dark green marking on both sides of the vein. The name prayer plant comes from the way the leaves of this plant fold up in the evening like a pair of praying hands. This is to hold in moisture from evaporating. Water; Keep lightly moist, except in winter when you should let it dry out a bit more between watering. If leaves start to show brown tips; needs more moisture. Temperature; Normal room temperatures is ideal, think that if you are cold then the plant is too. I like this opinion Note: please don't use this box to post questions, you can do that on our forums instead. |
