The Story Behind This Plant

The Green Prayer Plant is native to the tropical rainforests of Brazil, where it thrives in warm, humid conditions. Its daily leaf movement, called nyctinasty, brings a touch of natural serenity to any indoor space.

How to Keep It Happy

Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal. It can also tolerate low light, but avoid direct sunlight which may bleach the leaves.
Water: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. It likes moisture, but not soggy roots, so use well-draining soil.
Humidity: Keep humidity up to help prevent pests and keep foliage healthy.
Soil: Use a well-draining, moisture-retentive potting mix.
