This plant flat oval leaves with a line pattern that runs symmetrically across the leaves. This hardy indoor plant earned its common name "Prayer plant" from the fact that the leaves tend to fold together at night, like a pair of praying hands. Most types of prayer plants have variegated foliage, adding to the plant's interest.
