Botanical name: Maranta leuconeura
Also known as: Lemon Lime Maranta, Prayer Plant

Known for its bright lime-green foliage patterned with deep green and burgundy veins, the Lemon Lime Prayer Plant brings both color and movement to indoor spaces. Native to Brazil’s rainforest floor, this low-growing plant gently folds its leaves upward at night like praying hands—a symbolic gesture of peace and renewal. It’s a favorite among pet owners and plant collectors alike for its calming presence and safe, non-toxic nature.

📏 Size: Typically grows 10–14 inches tall in a 6” pot, forming a full, lush mat of foliage.
