HOUSEPLANT: Maranta leuconeura (prayer plant)

I found the name of this plant: Red Veined prayer plant, the picture is also more clearer than mine. (1)Maranta leuconeura erythroneuro,Red-Veined Prayer Plant,Marantaceae


there seems to be a buzz about this prayer plant, so I take her home. don't know how long she will last on top of my bookshelf, but yeah, I will let you know. 

If you have questions about how I care for this houseplant, leave a comment. How I care for her, might be slightly different from your style, it may work  or may not work, but worth the shot.
