Maranta tricolour, also known as the tricolor prayer plant, is a species of flowering plant in the family Marantaceae. It is native to Brazil, where it grows in the understory of tropical forests. The tricolor prayer plant is prized for its striking foliage, which is characterized by oval leaves with dark green centers and lighter green borders, each leaf having a distinctive white stripe down the middle.
The tricolor prayer plant grows best in bright, indirect light and likes to be kept evenly moist, but not waterlogged. It prefers to be in a warm, humid environment, so it’s a good idea to mist the leaves regularly to help maintain the humidity levels. It can be grown in pots or baskets and is a great choice for adding a touch of green to a bright, warm room.
This plant is known for its habit of folding up its leaves at night, a behavior known as nyctinasty, which is why it’s also referred to as the prayer plant. It’s a low-maintenance plant that is easy to care for and is a popular choice for both experienced and beginner plant owners.
