Favorite Plant & Why? The Lemon Lime Maranta. It was the first real plant I purchased. Not only did it teach me how to take care and spend time caring for my plants but it also came with the meaning prayer plant. Prayer was something I was needing in my life at that time. Seeing it thriving in my room everyday was a constant reminder for me to stop and be grateful for the life I had been given.
