Our other maranta is a very striking affair, demanding attention with bold striped and contrst colours. This one is much more subtle with its appeal, the gentle contrast of dark and light green creating a graphic pattern that some think looks like rabbit tracks.

Prayer plants get their name because the leaves fold up at night, as if in prayer. It's a lovely lounge room greenery, and if you live somewhere frost-free, a lush shade border underplanting too.
