Maranta leuconeura var. erythroneura 'Red prayer plant' native to the tropical forests of Central and South America. Commonly known as the "prayer plant" as their leaves move and fold with the light. They are non-toxic and prefer bright to medium, indirect light. It is also best to water when the top 1/4 of the container is dry, with rain or distilled water if possible, although tap is usually okay if needed.
