Dish Garden
Plant Expert Reply:
Is the dish garden to the right the one you are looking at in either the Flower Shop Network selection guide or online in our flower gallery?
It has several plants and I have tried to label them all. I assume the plant you are talking about is the Maranta Prayer Plant.
I can understand why you would love this plant. The Prayer Plant makes a wonderful houseplant and is very compatible with other houseplants. It likes a spot with good light, but no direct sun. Be sure to keep this plant away from drafts — it is originally a rainforest plant. When you water it use room temperature warm water.

That\’s it! The prayer plant. Thank you so much! I have been trying to find any pictures of this plant on line for a long time. My father died a year ago and I was given one of his dish gardens and it had this plant in it. I told my mother how much I liked it so she gave it to me. It is very unique and I have been trying to find its name ever since. Thanks again. Donna Hesson

Looks like a type of Kalanchoe. They enjoy bright filtered light and to be kept moist, but on the dry side. Watch for pests like aphids and mealybugs. If kept too wet, Kalanchoes are substitutable to powdery mildew, leaf spot, as well as, crown and root rot. Hope this helps!
