The Prayer Plant (Maranta leuconeura) gets its name because its leaves fold up at night like praying hands. The dark spots on the sides of Prayer Plant leaves provide a very nice contrast for the light-coloured edges. Another thing to look out for on a Prayer Plant’s leaves is that they change colour as your Prayer Plant ages: from brown to bright green, to a dark green colour.
