Urban Jungle Petite Standard 4 planter is versatile and available in White, which complements the foliage of our beautiful Red Maranta. This lightweight container works well when displayed with any of our other collections and fits within various decorative spaces and styles. Marana Leuconeura, commonly known as a prayer plant, is an ornamental tropical plant native to the rainforests of Brazil. The Maranta gets its nickname from its behavior. Prayer plants display nyctinasty, meaning their leaves move in accordance with their circadian rhythm. Their foliage opens towards the sun throughout the day to maximize light intake and returns to an upright position at night to retain moisture and prevent water collection on leaves, reminiscent of hands in prayer.
