Green Prayer Plant

$28.00

I'm the Green Prayer Plant. I get my name because during the day I spread my beautiful leaves out and about and at night I raise my hands in the air in a prayer position. I am pretty easy to care for but I require a little bit of attention. I look great in a window sill or on a shelf enjoy my unique leaves. My leaves are non-toxic to pets and will help purify the air in your space. I'm a great choice for new plant parents.

ABOUT

They are green in color with spots that look dark brown or deep green that fade as the plant grows older. It is known to bloom small, white flowers in the spring. The plant hangs its leaves during the day and put them upright as the sun goes down. This plant can filter air pollutants and does well in low to bright light. It is relatively easy to care for and great for beginners.

ABOUT OUR POTS

BIODEGRADABLE GROW POT

Our biodegradable grow pots are made of 50% sphagnum peat, wood fiber and lime to adjust the pH. The peat content provides a combination of superior root penetration, good drainage and aeration whilst the wood fibers strengthen the pot.

Designed for easy transplant. They are 100% compostable and approved for organic production. Simply place the entire biodegradable pot into your planter and the roots of your plant will soon grow through and decompose the pot.

 

ECO-FRIENDLY ROOT POUCH

Our recycled & semi-degradable eco-friendly fabric bags are made from a mix all natural fibers and recycled plastic water bottles saved from landfills. The breathable fabric allows for your plants to stay cool in the summer and provides good drainage to avoid overwatering. They provide a healthy environment for your plant to grow by pruning the roots and creating dense, healthy root structures.

These fabric bags are washable and recyclable. It will take 1-2 years for the bags to semi degrade. Use your fabric bag as a decorative planter and remove from the bag when it is time to repot. This planter is designed by Root Pouch.

PLANT CARE

LIGHT

While this plant is known to be low-light tolerant, it typically prefers bright, indirect light. Be sure to keep it out of direct sunlight to avoid burning the leaves.

WATER

The soil should always remain moist but not soggy. This plant prefers to be watered with warm or room temperature water. Water the plant every 5 days but less during the winter.

ENVIRONMENT

Ideal temperatures is 60ºF - 80ºF and it prefers warm temperatures. It does not like the cold and should never live in conditions under 55ºF. Keep away from hot or cold air drafts. Requires high humidity. Mist the leaves daily in the morning with warm water only. You can also place near other plants or leave a bowl of water nearby to boost humidity levels.

GROWTH

This plant can grow up to 12 inches tall and 18 inches wide with leaves that are 6 inches long. Fertilize every 2 weeks, spring through fall only, when the plant is actively growing.

REPOTTING

This plant does not have to be repotted often but it does not like to be root-bound or pot-bound. When you do repot, use rich, well-draining soil and choose a pot that it about 1" larger in size. The best time to repot is in spring.

PROPAGATING

You can propagate the plant with cuttings. Take a stem cutting beneath the node and place in a glass of water. Repot into moist soil when the roots are 2" long.

TOXICITY

Safe and non-toxic to all humans and pets.

Great company!

Great company! First time ordering from 36vine and we are delighted with everything this company has to offer, it really was a lifesaver since we have not gone out shopping in person during this pandemic, so heading out to our local nursery was not an option.

Packaging: quite frankly it was perfect. The shipping containers are nicely engineered and their design protected the plants beautifully. The emails from 36 Vine letting us know the shipping progress were also greatly appreciated.

Plant health: plants arrived healthy and thriving. Loved that the plants came in biodegradable containers as we did not have the correct size planters to transplant them immediately.

Website and customer service: Love, love, love the website. It is nicely designed and super simple to navigate. The information about each and every plant is readily available and makes it simple to care for them correctly. Ordering was a snap because they put all the pet friendly plants together! I had previously avoided ordering house plants because I didn’t have the time to do the research to find out which ones were poisonous or not. Extremely important with our multiple cat household.

Will definitely be ordering from 36vine again.
