Prayer Plant (Maranta leuconeura)
Prayer Plant (Maranta leuconeura) is a classic indoor foliage plant grown for its patterned leaves and the gentle daily movement that gives it the name. The leaves lie flat during the day, then lift and fold upward in the evening, adding a subtle rhythm that makes it feel alive in a room. Rich green foliage is often marked with contrasting veins and decorative blotches, creating a collected, curated look even when the plant is small. With a low, spreading habit and a soft trailing form over time, Prayer Plant works as an easy focal point on shelves, side tables, and plant stands while still pairing well with other houseplants.
Distinctive Features
The standout feature is the leaf movement, which is especially noticeable in consistent indoor conditions and adds a fun, interactive quality to everyday plant care. Leaves have a smooth, velvety look with strong patterning that reads well from across a room and looks best in bright, indirect light. The plant naturally grows outward rather than upward, making it ideal for low planters, shallow bowls, and hanging baskets where stems can drape. It is a strong choice for plant lovers who want bold foliage without needing high light or constant fuss, as long as moisture and humidity are kept steady.
Growing Conditions
- Light: Bright, indirect light is best; tolerates medium light, but avoid direct sun that can scorch leaves.
- Soil: Loose, well-drained indoor potting mix with added perlite or bark for airflow.
- Water: Keep evenly moist, letting the top inch of soil dry slightly before watering again; do not let it sit in water.
- Humidity: Medium to high humidity helps keep leaf edges clean; use a humidifier or pebble tray if air is dry.
- Temperature: Prefers 65 to 80 F; protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature swings.
- USDA Hardiness Zones: 11 to 12 outdoors; grown as an indoor houseplant in colder regions.
- Habit: Low, spreading, and trailing foliage plant.
- Mature Size: About 8 to 12 inches tall with a spread of 12 to 24 inches or more over time.
Ideal Uses
- Focal Point: Use the patterned foliage as a standout feature on a table, shelf, or plant stand.
- Hanging Basket: Let stems trail for a soft, cascading look in bright corners.
- Bathroom Planting: A great fit for bright bathrooms where humidity supports clean leaf edges.
- Bedroom and Office Greenery: Adds a calm, decorative presence in spaces with steady indirect light.
- Mixed Houseplant Groupings: Pair with solid-leaf plants to make the leaf pattern pop.
Low Maintenance Care
- Watering Routine: Water thoroughly, then drain excess; consistent moisture is key, especially in spring and summer.
- Humidity Support: Increase humidity in winter or heated rooms to reduce browning on leaf tips.
- Feeding: Feed lightly every 4 to 6 weeks in spring and summer with a balanced houseplant fertilizer at half strength.
- Pruning: Pinch stems to encourage fuller growth and trim leggy runners to keep the plant dense.
- Repotting: Repot every 1 to 2 years or when roots fill the pot; refresh soil to keep growth strong.
- General Note: If leaves curl or look dull, check moisture first, then humidity and light levels.
Why Choose Prayer Plant?
- Interactive Leaf Movement: Leaves lift and fold in the evening, adding a daily ritual to your plant collection.
- Decorative Foliage: Patterned leaves provide year-round indoor interest without relying on blooms.
- Great for Indirect Light: Thrives in bright indoor spaces without direct sun.
- Compact, Trailing Habit: Fits shelves and small spaces, then gently drapes as it matures.
- Design-Friendly Texture: Works in modern, cozy, and collected interiors as a clean foliage statement.
If you want a houseplant with patterned leaves, gentle nightly movement, and a compact trailing form, Prayer Plant delivers year-round interest with approachable care.

Strong and Bitter flavor.
Size: 28 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This tastes like extremely bitter and strong coffee I can't taste any mushroom and it whatsoever (not sure if there is even mushroom in it) but I definitely recommend using some form of creamer, honey, or cinnamon or maybe even hot chocolate to help out with a very strong and bitter flavor.
But the bag is very large and a very good price.
It was delivered as promised and very quickly.

Excellent LXX
Format: Hardcover
The NETS is the single best translation of the Septuagint on the market (at least at the moment). The translation follows an ultra-literal method of translation they call "interlinear". The reason for this is that the LXX follows the same pattern and is very jarring. So, where the Hebrew and LXX agree, they translate the Hebrew text and translate it as literally as possible following the LXX at the same time. Where it disagrees, they follow the LXX.
It has as a "boiler-plate" the NRSV, but it eschews many NRSV translation principles like gender-inclusive language. All gender-inclusive language except when the LXX's language is itself gender-inclusive (and this happens). The method of translation further removes it from its English parent. In the end, the only way you can know that it started as an NRSV would be to read the introduction.
It really only has a few drawbacks. First, because the Bible is written for scholarly study, it is not useful for liturgical use or for private devotional use. Its language would also be too hard for the average reader because of its audience. This, however, is its stated goal. It may be a draw-back, but that's a side-effect of what it set out to do.
I do not like the way they translated "pnevma theou" as "divine wind" in Genesis. It's justifiable to a point (it means "breath" and "wind" as much as it does "spirit), but everywhere else I checked they translated translated "pnevma" as "spirit". It should be consistent. The reason for this is plainly obvious: it was produced by an inter-religious committee of Christians and Jews. Since Jews are not Trinitarians, and that would be a valid understanding of the Hebrew and to a degree of the Greek, they would naturally not want anything like this. Christians, almost from the beginning, have made the connection between "Spirit of God" in Genesis and "Holy Spirit". The connection is further exasperated in English, because "spirit" for us does not have the same range of meaning as it does in Greek or Hebrew. So, the only fault I can give them is that it is an inconsistent translation, not that it's an invalid one.
The prefaces also almost invariably favor the theory that the LXX is a translation with liberties over that it has a different parent text. Both are truly present, but we generally cannot tell when the LXX reading cannot be derived from repointing or re-dividing the Hebrew words (at that time, they had not yet pointed the text or put spaces in it, and so there were more ways to interpret the consonants than in its current form). Again, however, they do not say anything that is invalid regarding the relation of the LXX and its parent text. I simply divide the text differently than they do and so do not always like the introductions' emphasis.
Going back to its strengths, its production standards were exceptional. The binding is excellent, the font is excellent, and it has generous margins. It even does this by being as cheap as the "cheap" Bibles. Short of going back to rag paper, this is about as good as I would normally expect.
Overall, if you have good reading skills, I would reccomend this translation hands-down over any other English translation.

Second best.
Format: Hardcover
It's not for daily reading or devotion, or like memorisation. For that, I switched to the Lexham Septuagint ( more smoother). Still beautiful, accurate to represent the Greek text. And no, it's not merely a NRSV modified as some claim. You feel it's a Greek based translation. I keep it for reference, intro on the books, and maybe for some reading. It's based on Ralhf Septuagint, but nothing too different to the Lexham (Sweete edition).
Font too small, but great cover. Not my go to Septuagint in English. The Lexham has taken that place.

Importance of the Septuagint
Format: Hardcover
I write as a Christian layperson. The Septuagint translation of the Hebrew scriptures (the Old Testament) into Greek was produced by Jewish scholars in Alexandria in the late third and second centuries before the Common Era. It had incalculable influence on the development of Christianity. Before the important Christian writings were gathered together in the second century of the Common Era to form the New Testament, the Septuagint was THE Bible of the new Church. It has been said that quotations from the Septuagint appear in every book of the New Testanent except the letters of John. As Christianity spread through the Roman Empire, few of its adherents could read Hebrew or Aramaic. Many could read Greek, if they could read at all. Pietersma and Wright have put together the first good English translation of the Septuagint since the nineteenth century. It is a literal translation, very close to the original Greek, and therefore often somewhat awkward in English, and this is good. Readers with even a modicom of biblical Greek, say a New Testament Greek course from college days, can use this hand-in-hand with the Greek Septuagint text (available from the American Bible Society), and do quite well. One experiences a very ancient text of the Old Testament even if one has little or no Hebrew. In the past few weeks I have thus worked through the Greek text of the first chapter of Genesis, several psalms, and selections from Second Isaiah, and this has been revivifying and enlightening. I am in debt to Pietersma and Wright. Even with no command of ancient languages, one can taste the flavor of the Septuagint text with this book. Oxford University Press, with its five hundred-plus years of experience in printing bibles, has laid out the text in 1,027 double-column pages with one minor fault--the margins are too narrow to write notes. This inexpensive and well produced translation should be on the bookshelf of every serious bible reader no matter what the level of scholarship.

Septuagint LXX Codex Alexandrinus finally in English!
Format: Hardcover
This is the overall accurate and most complete collection of books of the original covenant scriptures, (the Old Testament.) For the average English reader who doesnt know or care much to learn the spiritual gems of the bible through the languages of modern Hebrew and Ancient pictoral Hebrew, this will be your best version of the O. T. to have by far! Its all in English, translated out of the LXX, Codex Alexandrinus, which is the most ancient and most accurate septuagint text available so far, despite what modern scholars and pastors are wrongly telling you. Why the hell does every church have colies of the NIV Nearly Inspired version, for everyone to use, when they could buy this along with the Greek- English Interlinear N.T with NKJV along the side as well!?? Many scholars will say that the LXX V or Codex Vaticanus is dated earlier and is therfore more accurate but that is not completely true. It is still another great version to use also, as found in Brentons English version and the amazing Apostolic Bible Polyglot but it is still a translation made later in time from out of the Masoretic Hebrew Text. But this NETS version of the septuagint is from the original source Greek O.T. which was made originally around 250 B.C and was made out of Ezras authentic and most accurate Hebrew copy of the Tanakh or O.T., given to him directly by God again, when he was in Babylon. (See 4 Esdras 14 in the Good News Bible with deuterocanonicals/Apochrypha! $8 FROM AMAZON, of which I also did a brief review of a while ago!)You will get the most out of this version of the O.T set of scriptures. But don't forget to also get the other missing scriptures and restore many other lost and forgotten books, and verses of scripture like 4th Esdras, 1st and 2nd Adam and Eve, Jasher and 1st and 2nd Enoch, and the testament of the twelve patriarchs! Plus you will need a separate Set of the Renewed Covent scriptures or (the N.T.) because this bound package of scriptures does still not contain the whole counsel of God. There is no New testament in here in case you were wondering. But this version is still the closest to having the most of Gods words, than any other English O.T version in one bound package, that I have found and this is more accurate in more places than not. But there are a few errors still from the Greek, which get carried over into English, like Genesis 4:26 of which the Aramaic versions, and Hebrew Masoretic text and Jasher have, when the letters are respaced correctly. This verse should tell us that Enosh profaned the name of God, not worshiped or called upon or hoped to call upon God. Some of the Greek text's flaws in which the Hebrew M.T. is superior are: Zechariah 5:1- 2, 12:10 and Genesis 1:1 (of which the Aleph and Tav is present and is unjustly left out and equals The Messiah/God, as in Revelation 1:8!) And psalm 138:2 to name a few. But over all without other deeper study, the Greek O.T. text has more to offer as a whole than the Hebrew version left preserved for us. And there is no finished English translation and bound book yet, of the Aramaic Targumim O.T. TIthat will be the next masterpiece, when someone gets it done. It is still being worked on. See Andrew Gabriel Roth's Aramaic Eastern Peshitta N.T. as well as David Bausher's western peshitta N. T. Interlinear pr plain English. Hopefully one of these guys or both will do the correct smd more co ete Aramaic Targumim for the O. T. and not he later made syriac translation but we will ha e ro wait and see.?
Also, some verses in which the LXX is superior over the late made Hebrew M.T. are found in verses like Genesis 11:13- 14, which are missing completely from the Hebrew!!! See Luke 3:36 to verify Kainan or Caianan's existence in the genealogical bible lineage of the Patriarchs! Cainan's existence also makrs creation 565 years earlier then 4004 bc that bishop Ussher wrongly dated from the Hebrew Masoretic Text. And see Ezekiel 21:3- which shows God only killing the unrighteous in the two LXX versions and never the righteous with the wicked, like Abraham pleaded with God in Genesis 18:23. Sadly the late Masoretic Hebrew Text erroneously has God killing both the righteous with the unrighteous! Also see DANIEL 12:4 in this LXX, which has a superior English translation, even though the same better meaning is hidden in the Hebrew. This verse should say the knowledge of evil and cunning to harm us, will increase, not the knowledge of the gospel or technology increasing, like many commentators have said.. Also DANIEL 12:4 should be translated as saying that many people will run away in apostasy and violent madness, not just running to and fro!?? Any serious students can contact me at AnswersInGenesis at live dot com. Every disciplined learned who wishes to mature, needs a copy of this and should read this as their main version of the Tanakh or O.T. I will also be happy to further translate and teach this along with the Hebrew Masoretic Text and both Aramaic Targumim to serious literal minded people, as I am already doing chronologically, through the whole bible, in my own bible study in Tucson on Shabbat (friday) evenings. Enjoy!😊
