Maranta leuconeura 'Beauty Kim'
This vibrant, striped, velvety plant comes from the tropics of Brazil. It gets its nickname "prayer plant" because the leaves fold up at night, which mimicking hands praying. It's been said that this is an adaptation that allows the roots to gain access to rainfall.
Low to bright indirect light. Direct light will scorch the leaves.
SM: ~10" tall and a 4" pot.
MD: ~12-18" tall and a 6" pot.
LG: ~10-12" tall and an 8" pot. Note that this size ships in a hanging basket, but the attached hanger can be removed.
Pro-tip: Let tap water sit for at least 24 hours prior to prevent leaf tip burn.

This prayer plant package beautiful and growing great
Kim's been very consistent, though I worry that maybe she's not feeling well because her spots aren't as vibrant anymore? Still love her though, 10/10
Glad you're loving Kim! The vibrancy of the leaves usually have to do with light conditions. If the plant is in too much light, the leaves may become washed out, while too little light can cause the leaves to revert to green.
