Its common name comes from the fact that the leaves tend to fold together at night, like a pair of praying hands.
Light:Grow prayer plants in low, medium, or bright light. In bright light, it's best to protect the leaves from direct sun by using a sheer curtain or other filter.
Water: Water the prayer plants just before the soil surface dries. This hardy indoor plant likes to stay relatively moist (but not sopping wet all the time). Its leaves can start to turn brown if it dries out too much or too often.
