Network plant is a unique and striking plant with mosaic-like patterns on its leaves. This tropical plant is native to the rainforests of Brazil and is a popular houseplant due to its attractive foliage. Its leaves fold up at night as a response to low light levels, then open back up during the day to absorb as much light as possible. Another interesting feature is that its leaves are sensitive to touch and will close and reopen if touched or shaken. It prefers moist soil and filtered sunlight, making it a great choice for a humid bathroom or bright living room. In some cultures, network plant is considered a symbol of good luck and is believed to bring wealth and prosperity into the home. Its unique patterns have also been said to inspire creativity and help promote a sense of calm and relaxation.
