Scientific Name: Maranta
Common Name: Prayer Plant

The Maranta genus of plants is in the Marantacae family, which also includes Calathea, Goeppertina, Stromanthe & Ctenanthe. Many of these plants are interchangeably referred to as "Prayer Plants" due to their nyctinasty habits, which is the fancy word for leaves that fold up at night and unfold in the morning. Quite a few of the plants also have very similar foliage and growth patterns, which just adds to the fun!

Maranta can be a little more temperamental than other tropical houseplants and may be better suited for more advanced plant parents, but don't let us stop you from trying! Their foliage is very striking and unique, which is one of the reasons why these are still highly popular houseplants! 

The Prayer Plant is a classically popular houseplant that has strikingly beautiful marking on the leaves - fondly called rabbit track markings. The leaves curl up at night and unfurl in the morning (hence the adoption of the common name "Prayer Plant"). We regularly stock a lot of fun variegations of the Prayer Plant in 4" pots. If left to its own devices, this fun plant will trail with time. 

Care Notes: Low to bright indirect light, water when top two inches of soil are dry. 

***Due to the unique nature of plants, the one we carefully choose for you won't look exactly like the photos. but it will be just as beautiful!

Dog loves these!
My dog absolutely loves these toys! They hold up pretty well, the squeakers dont last long, but I am actually glad for that because I can only take so much squeaking. He gets so excited when I take a new one out and he carries them around everywhere. These are his favorite toys, by far.

Good value
Considering my girls will destroy any toy in no time and how much dog toys cost. These hold up as well as most and are a good value and the dogs like them.

Quality, Cute, Fun Toys for My Medium Sized Dogs
My dogs were very happy with these as Christmas gifts, and I’m very happy that I do not have worry about my dogs ingesting a bunch of stuffing or that I have to pick up stuffing all over the house. These are very cute, are of good quality, and are big enough for medium sized dogs to play with.

Pretty good. Maybe better for smaller less vilolent doggies.
Liked the colors and the concept. Did take care of the "stuffie pollution problem". Seems durable enough for my dogs to play "tug of war" with. I do think however the squeakers need more protection as they were toast in mere minutes it seemed. I think I will look for some made with canvas like material on outside to see if that will make them last longer. Special thanks to my "Testers" Luna and Chunky! Cheers!

Toy monster
My dog loved them, but did not live long. My 33lb dog is a killer with dog toys and this was like candy for her.
