Prayer Plant, Pot & Mister

This distinctive plant has stunning green leaves with red veins and pink undersides. It earned its name because of the way the leaves fold together at night, like hands closed in prayer. Best known for its colourful, patterned leaves that move up and down with daylight, the Prayer Plant is, of course, a member of the Calathea family. An ideal choice for anyone new to plant parenting, it makes the perfect gift in a stylish ceramic ribbed pot, with our own B&D mister.

These pots are glazed and finished by hand, which means you may notice some minor imperfections such as small surface bubbles or light variations in colour.

What you might not know about this colourful Calathea, is that the Prayer Plant is actually a trailing plant and in more mature specimens you’ll see it start to grow horizontally and eventually trail downwards with its colourful leaves cascading.
