The prayer plant (Maranta leuconeura) is a tropical plant native to the rainforests of Central and South America. It is known for its strikingly patterned leaves and unique behavior. The plant gets its name from its fascinating habit of folding its leaves upward at night, resembling hands in prayer, a phenomenon called nyctinasty. Prayer plants thrive in warm, humid environments.
