A tropical plant belonging to Brazil, Maranta red prayer plant is a well-known and gorgeous houseplant. Its scientific name is called Maranta, and its variety is ‘Erythroneura,’ meaning red veins in Latin. The red veins come in a herringbone fashion, giving this plant another name the herringbone plant.
It creates a complete ground cover in warm areas, while in colder areas, it works best as a hanging indoor houseplant. Its stunning foliage is broadly oval and contains about 5-inch (12.5 cm.) long beautifully olive-green leaves featuring vivid red midribs veining in the herringbone design. The center of its leaf is somewhat lighter green, and its undersides are also lighter green.
The best quality of this plant is the ability to “pray.” It is called a nastic movement and is your plant’s natural response to sunlight. Its leaves are flat during the day, but they move upward as if they pray during the night. It also enables your prayer plant to conserve some moisture at night.
