Inktober 2023 // Day 13: Rise

Maranta leuconeura has leaves that lie flat during the day, and rise erect at night as if in prayer for evening vespers, hence the common name "prayer plant". The term “leuconeura” means "white-veined", referring to the leaves.

it's my birthday now i'm gonna talk about my new plants!!!

Dracaena masoniana or 'whale fin' are probably my favourite kinds of snake plants, on account of them being literally 1 leaf. I've been wanting one of these for a long time so I have a little treasure trove of random facts already stored in my head.

Leaves can grow up to three feet inside, and are often grown as a single leaf plant, though as you can see this plant can grow multiple. contrary to what you might think when you see this picture, each leaf is actually very sturdy and thick.

the one I have is quite young but as they age they become darker (I seen an absolutely ginormous one when I was getting this one)

Pilea peperomioides or Pass It One Plant (named for the fact this it always has little plant babies you can plant in another pot and give as a gift, which, cute)

This one has also been on the list of plants I want mostly because like all of my other plants, it looks a little weird. Adding to the weird look (or making it I guess) is the fact that the stem connects just off center of the leaf, while most plants have stems that connect to the ends of the leaves.

like many house plants this one is low light! (though most low lights actually tend to do well in indirect light) this one is also non toxic!

Senecio rowleyanus or more commonly know as string of pearls is a vine succulent with some very neat looking orbs that they use to store water (these are the leafs and like all succulents they tend to store more water than other plants, making them a great choice for people who forget to water their plants)

These little guys are toxic so don't eat them and don't let your pets eat them (worry not. This on is wayyyy out of reach of the cats)

These funky looking plant vines can grow to two and maybe even three feet (under the right conditions) With better photos of the 'pearls you can actually see a translucent stripe that runs lengthwise. This stripe is there for optimized photosynthesis, but is also helpful to let you know when they need to be watered because then they're running low on water and the 'pearls' appear to pucker.

Maranta leuconeura or Prayer plant

This unique plant gets it's name from that fact that during the day it's leaves stay open and flat as you can see here, but during the night they close like praying hands.

Like many of the plants I've been talking about, this one also darkens in colourization as it ages, and adds red stripes to the outside of the leaves. This amazing plant can also reach up to one foot indoors.

This plant is native to the Brazilian tropical forest but has been popularized as a house plant over time.

Monstera Deliciosa or just Monstera

I actually already have one of these but compared to my little four leaf plant, this on is practically a tree. I don't know if you can tell from the picture but this thing is massive we're talking like 3 feet tall already with leaves bigger than my cats (even the fat one)

The size is probably also one of the appealing aspects of this plant, which can grow up ten to fifteen feet tall and eight feet wide, and leaves that can measure up to eighteen inches across.

These pants actually get the latter part of their name Deliciosa as they are actually a fruit bearing plant. it can take around two to three years for it to bear fruit, and then it takes the fruit ten months to ripen. You'll want to wait for it ripen too, because eating unripened fruit can cause serious burns to your throat. I've heard the wait and risk are well worth it though because it has been described as one of the best tasting fruits out there (often being called the fruit salad plant because the fruit tastes like many fruits all at once?)

Why are prayer plants (Maranta Leuconeura) so fascinating??! All of them are so gorgeous, intriguing and alive! 💚

They love:

-Medium indirect light

-Let the soil dry well between watering sessions

-I also add 1-2 tablespoons of coffee grounds

Maranta leuconeura var. erythroneura-‘Lemon Lime’ prayer plant

· · ────────── ·𖥸· ────────── · ·

Sad little update

Got this plant as a cutting which was going wild in the prop box. But soon after it was removed, chaos took way and it’s gone downhill since. Everyone a leaf grows, the old one dies off. It’s been this way for months and I felt like giving up on it. However, I’m keeping my head up as it now lives in the detolf. Hopefully it comes back to life.

Wait what? I didn't know the kerchoveana could get red undersides 😮 And most of mine don't have them, except for this one (it's the first original mother plant I got and is now regrowing, possibly moving to my sister some time because I have way too many) and veeeery faintly mayyyyybe on the other one in the west facing room (the second mother plant, sadly currently infested with thrips but otherwise pumping out giant leaves and flowers all the time). How interesting.
