Prayer Plant Cuttings
A few cuttings from my Prayer Plant... I used these leaves in my "Little BigShot" macro lens experiments. This is the "Big Picture."
This red-veined Prayer Plant is my all-time favorite house plant. I have had one (but not the same one) in my home for as long as I can remember.
And I remember the very first Prayer Plant I ever saw... it was in a pet store, in the '70's, in an aquarium, used as one of the underwater plants! The red veins glowed in the aquarium lighting and I became instantly fascinated with it.
I had an aquarium at the time, so I bought one and brought it home. It had a few leaves sticking off to one side, so I trimmed it and stuck the cuttings in a small glass of water. It rooted quickly, and this became by first potted plant.
I love this plant. It really does live up to it's name, raising it's leaves in the evening (yes, every evening after dark!) straight up towards the sky, as if it really is praying! And during the day... the leaves return to a down position!
