21 of the Most Stunning Species of Prayer Plants to Grow at HomePrayer plants are loved, at least in part, for their charming habit of lifting their leaves heavenward as the sun goes down every night.
But these houseplants are also cherished for the appearance of their stunning foliage. And thanks to the many different species and varieties available, there are a wide array of foliage patterns and color combinations to choose from.
I made a list of some of the most gorgeous prayer plants out there, and then narrowed down my selection to 21 species and select cultivars that are also fairly easy to find as houseplants.
We link to vendors to help you find relevant products. If you buy from one of our links, we may earn a commission.
After all, what’s the fun of falling in love with a specimen you have no chance of finding for your own collection?
On our prayer plant tour, we’ll cover species plants as well as cultivated varieties. We’re going to meet some charming specimens, including calatheas (now considered goeppertias in terms of taxonomic classification), marantas, stromanthes, and ctenanthes.
Based on my research, most (if not all) of these species and cultivars raise their leaves at bedtime.
If you don’t already have a favorite type of prayer plant, I’ll bet you find one (or more) among this list that will turn your eye – and maybe even rivet your heart.
Just a note before we get started, to reiterate what I briefly mentioned above: if you’re looking for calatheas and are disappointed not to see them in the table of contents, rest assured, they’re here.
These members of the arrowroot family have been reclassified as belonging to the Goeppertia genus – you’ll find them under their new genus name below.
