Named for the way its leaves fold shut at dusk, the lemon prayer plant brings a tropical feel indoors without demanding much fussing. The chartreuse and green foliage works well on a shelf or table where you can enjoy those daily leaf movements up close.

Keep it out of direct sun, in humid air, and let the soil dry slightly between waterings. It's a dependable houseplant for a bright, indirect-light spot in any room.
