Prayer Plant (Maranta leuconeura)
Prayer Plant (Maranta leuconeura) is a classic indoor foliage plant grown for its patterned leaves and the gentle daily movement that gives it the name. The leaves lie flat during the day, then lift and fold upward in the evening, adding a subtle rhythm that makes it feel alive in a room. Rich green foliage is often marked with contrasting veins and decorative blotches, creating a collected, curated look even when the plant is small. With a low, spreading habit and a soft trailing form over time, Prayer Plant works as an easy focal point on shelves, side tables, and plant stands while still pairing well with other houseplants.
Distinctive Features
The standout feature is the leaf movement, which is especially noticeable in consistent indoor conditions and adds a fun, interactive quality to everyday plant care. Leaves have a smooth, velvety look with strong patterning that reads well from across a room and looks best in bright, indirect light. The plant naturally grows outward rather than upward, making it ideal for low planters, shallow bowls, and hanging baskets where stems can drape. It is a strong choice for plant lovers who want bold foliage without needing high light or constant fuss, as long as moisture and humidity are kept steady.
Growing Conditions
- Light: Bright, indirect light is best; tolerates medium light, but avoid direct sun that can scorch leaves.
- Soil: Loose, well-drained indoor potting mix with added perlite or bark for airflow.
- Water: Keep evenly moist, letting the top inch of soil dry slightly before watering again; do not let it sit in water.
- Humidity: Medium to high humidity helps keep leaf edges clean; use a humidifier or pebble tray if air is dry.
- Temperature: Prefers 65 to 80 F; protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature swings.
- USDA Hardiness Zones: 11 to 12 outdoors; grown as an indoor houseplant in colder regions.
- Habit: Low, spreading, and trailing foliage plant.
- Mature Size: About 8 to 12 inches tall with a spread of 12 to 24 inches or more over time.
Ideal Uses
- Focal Point: Use the patterned foliage as a standout feature on a table, shelf, or plant stand.
- Hanging Basket: Let stems trail for a soft, cascading look in bright corners.
- Bathroom Planting: A great fit for bright bathrooms where humidity supports clean leaf edges.
- Bedroom and Office Greenery: Adds a calm, decorative presence in spaces with steady indirect light.
- Mixed Houseplant Groupings: Pair with solid-leaf plants to make the leaf pattern pop.
Low Maintenance Care
- Watering Routine: Water thoroughly, then drain excess; consistent moisture is key, especially in spring and summer.
- Humidity Support: Increase humidity in winter or heated rooms to reduce browning on leaf tips.
- Feeding: Feed lightly every 4 to 6 weeks in spring and summer with a balanced houseplant fertilizer at half strength.
- Pruning: Pinch stems to encourage fuller growth and trim leggy runners to keep the plant dense.
- Repotting: Repot every 1 to 2 years or when roots fill the pot; refresh soil to keep growth strong.
- General Note: If leaves curl or look dull, check moisture first, then humidity and light levels.
Why Choose Prayer Plant?
- Interactive Leaf Movement: Leaves lift and fold in the evening, adding a daily ritual to your plant collection.
- Decorative Foliage: Patterned leaves provide year-round indoor interest without relying on blooms.
- Great for Indirect Light: Thrives in bright indoor spaces without direct sun.
- Compact, Trailing Habit: Fits shelves and small spaces, then gently drapes as it matures.
- Design-Friendly Texture: Works in modern, cozy, and collected interiors as a clean foliage statement.
If you want a houseplant with patterned leaves, gentle nightly movement, and a compact trailing form, Prayer Plant delivers year-round interest with approachable care.

The Innovator's DNA - Disruptive Research - Disruptive Writing
A Politically Correct Status Quo
It is politically correct in management circles to say that you are "results oriented" or that you "drive for results" in your organization.
The status quo in business schools is to indoctrinate students in the delivery skills of analyzing, planning, detail-oriented implementing, and disciplined executing.
This book and the research upon which it is based disrupts that politically correct status quo.
Clayton Christensen has spent close to two decades creating the research, conceptual, and application foundation of the disruptive innovation body of knowledge. He has been working for more than 8 years with Jeff Dyer and Hal Gregersen, both gifted researchers, teachers, and consultants in their own right, on this project. These guys are a disruptive "dream team" of contributors.
This book articulates an extension of the disruptive innovation body of knowledge that clearly describes an individual profile of the disruptive innovator and an organizational profile of an organization that makes disruptive innovation happen.
So what makes this book disruptive?
The first thing is timing. It arrives on the scene at a time when innovation is one of the most critical components of a solution to our global financial and organizational mess. If we are to get out of our morass of debt and sluggish growth and respond to the continually emerging challenges of a burgeoning global society it will ride on the backs and wings of innovation. The status quo must be disrupted for us to survive and thrive!
Second is the audacity of the core models. The authors claim that innovation can be learned at both the individual and organizational level. Individuals can increase their ability to discover (Discovery Quotient - DQ) and learn to be more innovative. They cite the four specific behavioral skills of asking questions, engaging in observations, networking with people who have a different point of view, and experimenting to figure out what can work as the common elements of what innovators do. They also identify the cognitive skill of associational thinking, the ability to find connections between ideas that do not seem to be related to each other, as the connection between the behavioral skills and the generation of ideas. They extend their claim that the innovation competency can be learned to the organizational domain by saying that organizations can become more innovative through developing and leading people, designing and implementing processes, and advocating and living by philosophies that support innovation. These two arguments stand in stark contrast to the beliefs and practices of a vast majority of leaders and institutions.
(For a diagram of the Model see [...])
'And all of this is built upon the third source of disruption: research. Their work is based on well-founded research into the "DNA" of the world's leading innovators and the world's most innovative organizations. The authors conducted nearly 100 interviews of world class innovators and their colleagues to get at the heart of what innovators do. They also interviewed and surveyed executives who are not innovators. (Their survey data base has over 5000 respondents in it.) So they have been able to compare and contrast the two populations to more clearly see what it takes to effectively innovate.
They have also done research on business results attributable to innovation. Collaborating with HOLT (a division of Credit Suisse) they were able to craft a measurement called the "innovation premium." This measure identifies if an organization's market capitalization can be accounted for by existing cash flows or if there is an innovation influence on the stock price. By using this measure, they have been able to clearly and objectively identify which organizations are benefiting from innovation.
Yet to Explore
The tension in the balance of influence and power between the leaders with predominantly "Discovery" or "Delivery" mindsets is an area that has yet to be explored. If the premises of this book are sound, and I believe they are, we need to figure out how to manage that tension and balance in order to generate, incubate, and strengthen innovative ideas as we bring them to full fruition in the marketplace. Great ideas that are not delivered upon are simply recreational pursuits that do not build great people, great institutions, and great societies. So there is work yet to do.
Invest Your Time and Effort
This book makes a significant contribution to both the disruptive innovation body of knowledge and the evolving body of practice on innovating disruptively. It is well worth reading, pondering, and acting upon.

Inspiring and well-written
This is a very interesting book written by some Harvard profs. They did a large national survey of innovative businesses and their leaders. The book posits that innovative people follow five skills: associating, questioning, observing, networking, and experimenting. These skills can be found at the individual or organizational level. The idea is that most people have these skills in their DNA and can bring them out with some practice. There are a lot of interesting and inspiring examples like Steve Jobs and Jeff Bezos. Although this book seems like a self-help type book with a lot of hype, it has an academic underpinning. Any organization that is interested in promoting innovation could benefit from encouraging these 5 skills. If you are interested in innovation or creativity in business or any organization that produces something, you will like this book. The books is a little distracting to read because it has sidebars all through it giving interesting examples that break up reading concentration. Aside from that, it is a well-written book that is easy and enjoyable to read. I enjoyed the book greatly and found it to be inspiring.

Great read and research. But what about daily application for regular people?
The research piece behind this book might be the next thing I read, as I'm intrigued by the academic rigor applied.
The reveal and living examples of the five skills - questioning, networking, experimenting, observing and associating - are tangible and approachable given their articulation through well-known and highly visible entrepreneurs running innovative companies. There's much to be gleaned by looking at the way these people behave and, even through simple emulation, enhancing one's own skills.
My only real disappointment with the book is its limited approach to practical, daily application for those not yet at the top of the tree. It's rather a different kettle of fish for the innovation-minded, but stuck in bureaucracy, worker who wants to make things better, is still motivated, and hasn't been crushed by the machine. How does that person actively innovate? And, in some cases, get away with it? This book (or an accompanying volume) focussing on daily, in-work, innovation would be useful.

An exceptional five stars out of five
Few qualities separate inordinately successful entrepreneurs from the rest of the pack than the ability to innovate. Many have debated whether individuals are born with this quality or whether it can be nurtured. In The Innovator's DNA, Jeff Dyer, Hal Gregersen and Clayton Christensen explain that while genetics play a role, innovation is most certainly a skill that can be learned.
In particular, the authors introduce and expound upon five "discovery skills" found in the leaders of some of the most innovative companies in the world: (1) associating, (2) questioning, (3) observing, (4) networking and (5) experimenting. Each discovery skill is accompanied by real-world examples and pragmatic exercises that make the book unusually valuable in an age where copious books on change, leadership and innovation overwhelm the already-overwhelmed executive.
I give The Innovator's DNA an exceptional five stars out of five. The authors present a very readable book and provide concrete exercises for developing innovative skills. Using the principles provided in the book, I created a folder on my computer that I call my "Innovation Room." I use this to track progress as I work through various exercises and as I take time to ponder about how to apply innovative solutions to extant problems in Utah. This book was and will continue to be useful to me, and is recommended as a must-read for those interested in adding rare innovative attributes to their arsenal of problem-solving and decision-making skills.
