Maranta Red Prayer
Botanical Name: Maranta leuconeura

Also known as the red maranta herringbone, this hardy houseplant is easy to grow with striking red “veins” and like all members of the prayer plant family, moves throughout the day to follow the sun. It's a slow grower, so no matter where you have a prayer plant, you don't need to worry about it growing out of control. Most types of prayer-plants have variegated foliage and produce flowers when large.
