LEMON LIME PRAYER PLANT 6in

The Lemon Lime Prayer Plant (Maranta leuconeura) is a vibrant twist on a beloved favorite. It gets its name from its fascinating "sleep movements"—the leaves fold upward at night like hands in prayer, then open wide to greet the morning sun. While its cousin has red veins, this 'Lemon Lime' variety features striking neon-green veins against a dark forest-green leaf, creating a high-contrast look that brightens up any shady corner.

To keep those colors "electric," place your plant in medium to bright indirect light. Direct Arizona sun will scorch those tender leaves, but too little light will cause the lime-green patterns to fade. These beauties love a bit of humidity, so I often suggest placing the pot on a tray of pebbles with a little water or grouping it with other plants. Keep the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. It’s a rhythmic, living piece of art that tells you exactly how it’s feeling through its daily movements.
