Maranta leuconeura massangeana

oh we call them prayer plants here, because the leaves stand up at night, make me jump sometimes too LOL

This is fascinating. :o)
And cute little flower.

I was told they were called Ten Commandments because they have 10 spots on each leaf. Interesting to hear another name, for a different reason.

I just love these plants. The spost on the leaves look like painted by hand :-).
This one is really looking very healthy.
Well done, Elke!

From the name you supplied, Sewingkilla, I found the botanical name "Maranta leuconeura massangeana" at: http://www.sunnygardens.com/garden_plants/maranta/maranta_1931.php
Thanks very much! It had a bad year last year - I don't think it liked the large amount of water it was getting, so I am trying a different system now.

I love these. I must get out for another. A cutting I took from a failing favorite didn't take. I had it (the herringbone variety, striped as well) in a terrarium that it took over and bloomed all the time. Then it just stopped. I miss it moving around in place.
