Yes, this variety is non-toxic to both cats and dogs. It is a great choice if you have curious pets that like to investigate your houseplants.

This is a natural behavior known as nyctinasty. The plant moves its leaves upward at night to conserve moisture and protect its foliage, which is why it earned the name 'Prayer Plant.'

It means the plant prefers indirect light rather than harsh, direct sun. A spot near a window with a sheer curtain, or a few feet away from a sunny window, is ideal to prevent the leaves from scorching.

You can increase humidity by grouping it with other plants, placing it on a pebble tray filled with water, or keeping it in a bathroom with a window. Misting is an option, though it is generally less effective than these other methods.

Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. A good rule of thumb is to water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, ensuring the pot has proper drainage to prevent root rot.

No, this is a compact variety. It typically reaches a mature height of only 6 to 8 inches, making it perfect for tabletops, shelves, or small desks where it can trail gracefully.
