Ten Commandments · Maranta leuconeura
Also known as: prayer plant
Prayer plant is a tropical plant recognized for its decorative leaves and unique nyctinastic movements. It requires high humidity and consistent moisture without waterlogging, making it a challenging species for novice gardeners. Special care includes avoiding direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn and providing a warm environment as prayer plant is sensitive to temperature fluctuations.
The perfect time to transplant prayer plant is during the warm months of late spring to early summer. Choose a semi-shaded location with well-draining soil for optimal growth. While transplanting, handle the plant gently to avoid root damage and ensure a successful transition.
