Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Lemon Lime different from other prayer plants?
The Lemon Lime variety features uniquely cheerful yellow and lime-green striping that's much brighter and more energizing than traditional prayer plants. The citrus-bright coloration creates an instant mood-boosting effect and brings tropical sunshine indoors year-round.
Why do the leaves fold up at night?
This natural movement is called nyctinasty - the leaves fold upward each evening like praying hands, then unfurl each morning. This fascinating daily ritual is completely normal and healthy, providing endless entertainment as you watch the cheerful yellow stripes shift and dance throughout the day.
How can I maintain the vibrant yellow striping?
Provide bright, indirect light and maintain consistent moisture levels. The cheerful yellow stripes become more pronounced with proper care. Avoid direct sunlight which can fade the citrus colors, and ensure adequate humidity for the most vibrant coloring.
Is this plant safe around pets and children?
Absolutely! Maranta plants are completely non-toxic to cats, dogs, and humans, making them perfect worry-free choices for families who want to enjoy their cheerful lemon-lime foliage and fascinating prayer movements safely throughout their home.
Why are my yellow stripes fading or browning?
Fading yellow stripes usually indicate insufficient light or low humidity. Move to a brighter location with indirect light and increase humidity levels. Brown edges typically mean water quality issues - use filtered water and maintain consistent soil moisture for vibrant citrus coloring.

Here's to Stinkbird!
Format: Hardcover
I love a story where I learn something new. I think young readers will delight in following Baby Stinkbird as he discovers his superpower. While he has many amazing traits, like his poopy smell and falling into a river (both of which keep him safe from predators), he has one fabulous talent that no other baby birds have. So dive in and find out more about Stinkbird’s adventures.

so fun!
Format: Kindle
With a title like Stinkbird Has a Superpower, I obviously had to grab a copy and read it. To be honest, when I first saw it, I didn’t realize the stinkbird is a real bird – otherwise known as the hoatzin which lives in the Amazon rainforest. I thought it was more of a cartoon character name, but I was wrong and that new knowledge made the book all the more appealing to me.
I’m firmly in the camp that believes a children’s book should be one that both adults and kids can enjoy, and Stinkbird Has a Superpower definitely fits the bill! I chuckled at the back and forth between the father bird and his baby – the little chick was seriously adorable in both appearance and interaction. I learned a lot of interesting facts, and I loved the bright colors and vivid illustrations. And I think my nephews will be delighted to learn more about the stinkbird on the pages of this fun book, too (because what little boy wouldn’t want to learn about a stinky creature? lol). The format of the conversation between the father and chick allows similar engagement on the part of the adult/child reader pairing, and I foresee copious giggles from my nephews on a couple of pages.
Bottom Line: Colorful illustrations, intriguing science, a surprising superpower (that isn’t what you think it’s going to be) and of course a stinkbird – Stinkbird Has a Superpower by Jill Esbaum and Bob Shea has all the ingredients for a fun and educational picture book, and the result is delightful in every way! Children and adults alike will love this book, and they’ll learn a lot at the same time. A great book for parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, teachers, and anyone who has littles in their lives to add to their library.
