Prayer Plant 'Tricolour'

The ProRep Live Prayer Plant 'Tricolour' (Large) is a bold, living addition to tropical vivarium builds — suitable for reptile, amphibian, and invertebrate enclosures where real foliage makes a genuine difference to animal welfare and habitat quality.

Safe for Bioactive and Live-Animal Setups

Grown without harmful pesticides or chemicals, this plant is suitable for use in enclosures with live animals. Whether you're building a bioactive setup or simply adding living cover, you can introduce it with confidence alongside reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates.

Distinctive Tricolour Foliage

The Prayer Plant earns its name from its striking leaf patterning — deep green with contrasting red veins and pale green to creamy markings across the surface. In a vivarium, this kind of natural variation reads far more authentically than artificial decor and provides real visual depth to the enclosure.

Natural Leaf Movement

One of the most distinctive traits of this species is its nyctinastic movement — the leaves fold upward at night in a motion that gives the plant its common name. This natural behaviour adds genuine animation to a setup that static decor simply cannot replicate.

Suited to Humid Tropical Conditions

The Prayer Plant thrives in high-humidity environments, making it a natural fit for tropical species enclosures. It contributes to maintaining moisture levels within the habitat, supporting the microclimate requirements of many tropical reptiles and amphibians.

A large specimen of this plant makes an immediate impact in any tropical vivarium build — functional, non-toxic, and visually striking in equal measure.
