Maranta leuconeura

Maranta leuconeura is a low, tropical understorey herb from the rainforests of eastern Brazil, grown for its velvety oval leaves marked with feather-like patterns of dark spots along the veins. Its leaves fold upward at night like praying hands, which gave it the nickname gebedsplant. It is one of the most popular houseplants in the world because it stays compact and tolerates ordinary indoor conditions.
