Scientific Name: Maranta
Common Name: Prayer Plant

The Maranta genus of plants is in the Marantacae family, which also includes Calathea, Goeppertina, Stromanthe & Ctenanthe. Many of these plants are interchangeably referred to as "Prayer Plants" due to their nyctinasty habits, which is the fancy word for leaves that fold up at night and unfold in the morning. Quite a few of the plants also have very similar foliage and growth patterns, which just adds to the fun!

Maranta can be a little more temperamental than other tropical houseplants and may be better suited for more advanced plant parents, but don't let us stop you from trying! Their foliage is very striking and unique, which is one of the reasons why these are still highly popular houseplants! 

The Prayer Plant is a classically popular houseplant that has strikingly beautiful marking on the leaves - fondly called rabbit track markings. The leaves curl up at night and unfurl in the morning (hence the adoption of the common name "Prayer Plant"). We regularly stock a lot of fun variegations of the Prayer Plant in 4" pots. If left to its own devices, this fun plant will trail with time. 

Care Notes: Low to bright indirect light, water when top two inches of soil are dry. 

***Due to the unique nature of plants, the one we carefully choose for you won't look exactly like the photos. but it will be just as beautiful!

Stylish and eye-catching watch with great value
Color: blue watch for men
This watch looks much more premium than its price suggests. The blue dial combined with the two-tone stainless steel gives it a clean and elegant appearance, making it suitable for both formal and casual wear. The diamond accents add a nice touch without feeling overdone. The quartz movement keeps accurate time, and the date feature is convenient for daily use. The luminous hands are helpful in low-light conditions as well. The build quality feels solid, though the band may need adjustment for a perfect fit. Water resistance is fine for everyday situations like hand washing, but I wouldn’t rely on it for heavy water exposure. Overall, a good-looking and functional watch that offers excellent value for the price.

Great watch, would recommend
Color: blue watches 58, Color: blue watches 58
I really like this watch because it looks amazing. It’s much lighter than I expected, so it’s comfortable to wear all day at school without feeling heavy. When I first got it, the metal band was a little bit squeaky, but after wearing it for a while, the noise completely stopped. I had to remove a few links to make it fit my wrist, but the adjustment was actually really easy to do yourself. The clasp is great too it stays closed and it doesn’t pinch my skin at all. The blue and gold colors look awesome together, and it’s definitely a great watch for the price

My new favorite watch. Simple home improvement needed
Color: all black watch mens, Color: all black watch mens
Despite having many reknown brand watches in my collection, these inexpensive Olevs watches are now my favorite. They look nice, cost practically nothing and so far are very accurate (10 day review). Little to worry about if lost or damaged. PROS: 1. Inexpensive $40/each. 2. As stylish as other fashion watches 5x-10x more expensive. 3. Watch Crystal (i.e., glass) has a unique, faceted shape, which reflects light, feels "Manly" and matches faceted bezel. 4. Light weight and slim case; fits small wrists nicely (I have 6.4" wrists). 5. Accurate - two watches tracked over 10 days. Watch one: -7 seconds/10 days. Watch two: +2 seconds/10 days. 6. Illuminescent (i.e., glow-in-the-dark) hands and watch face look decent in dark. CONS: 7. Lightweight and cheap material - durability is questionable, especially coatings. 8. Bracelet/band links have excessive gaps to each other and rattle badly, making watch noisy and embarrassing. *Home fix* 9. Faceted Crystal can make it difficult to see exact time, because of light reflection. 10. Single clasp on bracelet could easily open inadvertently, vs double clasp. 11. Crown is not threaded and spins freely, even when closed (doesn't change time); likely poor water proofing and crown can easily open. 12. Difficult to set time accurately; crown movement is figity and closing crown can cause hands to easily move. 13. Second hand doesn't exactly line up with tick marks making it difficult to know if actual time is before, or after tick mark. *AT HOME FIX*: To fix the noisy bracelet, simply cut to length a piece of waterproof medical tape 15-16mm (5/8") wide, then attach to inside of clean bracelet, while spreading the links apart with your finger (i.e., stretch band). Do this on each bracelet, but don't cover clasp. Tape will need to be replaced, as it gets dirty, but it makes watch quiet. - Watch dimensions for collectors - A) Case Diameter (to Crown): 44mm B) Case Diameter: 42mm C) Lug-to-Lug length: 50.5mm D) Case Thickness (Top of Crystal): 12.6mm E) Strap/Bracelet Width at Case: 20mm F) Strap/Bracelet Width at Clasp: 18mm G) Weight 6.4" wrist size: 100g (3.5oz)
