# I'm new to plants, but my prayer plant is hands down my favorite so…

_Posted by Jess on 2025-06-06_

I'm new to plants, but my prayer plant is hands down my favorite so far. I got her dry as a bone a couple weeks ago for 50% off at a local plant store. Since she's been home I've gotten several new leaves and a flower!

What type of Calathea is that?

#### Jess replied on 2025-06-06

It's a maranta leuconeura. I think it's a "silver band."

Ugh I hope I get a flower on one of mineeee

It lasted approximately 1 day, but I'm glad she's happy!
