'Dottie' Prayer Plant

from $44.99

alathea roseopicta ‘Dottie’ (Pink Painted Prayer Plant) is a tropical, clump-forming evergreen prized for its dramatic foliage and the “prayer plant” movement of its leaves. Its large, glossy ovate leaves are dark green with bold hot-pink margins and central stripes, while the undersides flash a deep burgundy-purple, creating a vivid two-tone effect .

Key Features

  • Foliage Pattern: Striking hot-pink edges and central bands on deep green leaves; richly pigmented burgundy-purple undersides.

  • Size & Habit: Dense, clumping form reaching about 12–18″ (30–45 cm) tall and equally wide, ideal for tabletops or grouped plantings.

  • Leaf Movement: Exhibits nyctinasty—leaves open flat by day and fold upward at night, earning the “prayer plant” nickname.

  • Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light; too little light dulls its pink contrast, while direct sun can scorch the foliage.

  • Water & Humidity: Prefers evenly moist soil—water when the top 1–2″ feel dry, using filtered or rainwater to prevent brown tips; high humidity (60%+) helps avoid crispy edges.

  • Temperature & Soil: Best at 65–80 °F (18–27 °C); use a well-draining, peat-based mix and maintain consistent warmth and moisture.

  • Pet-Friendly: Non-toxic to cats and dogs, making it a worry-free choice for homes with pet.

  • All plants come with a regular black nursery pot
