Green Prayer Plant is a popular houseplant famous for the way it folds its leaves vertically at night, almost like a person folding their hands to pray. But don’t be misled—this native to the Amazonian rainforest looks fantastic during the day as well, when it opens those leaves and shows off an almost animal-like pattern of purple-green jungle splotches.
