Calathea Roseopicta

Description

The Prayer Plant, also known as Calathea Roseopicta 'Medallion', is a stunning tropical plant that is native to the rainforests of South America. This plant is known for its unique foliage, which features dark green leaves with intricate patterns of pink and white stripes. The leaves are oval-shaped and have a glossy texture, making them stand out in any room.

One of the most interesting features of the Prayer Plant is its ability to move its leaves. During the day, the leaves are flat and horizontal, but at night they fold up, resembling hands in prayer. This unique behavior has earned the plant its common name.

The Prayer Plant is a relatively easy plant to care for, making it a popular choice for indoor gardening. It prefers bright, indirect light and well-draining soil. It also requires consistent moisture, so it's important to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. The plant can be sensitive to cold temperatures and drafts, so it's best to avoid exposing it to these conditions.
