Scientific Name: Maranta
Common Name: Prayer Plant

The Maranta genus of plants is in the Marantacae family, which also includes Calathea, Goeppertina, Stromanthe & Ctenanthe. Many of these plants are interchangeably referred to as "Prayer Plants" due to their nyctinasty habits, which is the fancy word for leaves that fold up at night and unfold in the morning. Quite a few of the plants also have very similar foliage and growth patterns, which just adds to the fun!

Maranta can be a little more temperamental than other tropical houseplants and may be better suited for more advanced plant parents, but don't let us stop you from trying! Their foliage is very striking and unique, which is one of the reasons why these are still highly popular houseplants! 

The Prayer Plant is a classically popular houseplant that has strikingly beautiful marking on the leaves - fondly called rabbit track markings. The leaves curl up at night and unfurl in the morning (hence the adoption of the common name "Prayer Plant"). We regularly stock a lot of fun variegations of the Prayer Plant in 4" pots. If left to its own devices, this fun plant will trail with time. 

Care Notes: Low to bright indirect light, water when top two inches of soil are dry. 

***Due to the unique nature of plants, the one we carefully choose for you won't look exactly like the photos. but it will be just as beautiful!

100% Legit
Size: 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Hopefully I can upload the videos I took as I was unboxing, but I gave this product 5 stars because I indeed received real Batana oil. I also received the full jar’s worth of the oil. There were no air pockets at all. The color, consistency, and smell were accurate to the known characteristics of Batana. It is still cold where I am so it was in a solidified state when it arrived, however it was more pliable after some time in my home. It doesn’t take much heat to get it to melt either. I know many people who are looking to purchase on Amazon are trying to sift through the fakers, I want you to rest assured that this brand is legit. I can’t speak to the effectiveness on my hair ‘s condition as of yet but I did want to let it be known that this company is selling the real stuff.

This Batana Oil is the real deal...
Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I've been using Batana Oil for years. Lately, it is incredibly difficult to find quality oil. THIS Batana Oil is the real deal. The smoky scent and viscosity are exactly as I would expect from pure Batana Oil. My hair is smooth and shiny after each use. I suggest allowing the product time to sit on the counter(without it's lid), before using. This helps the smoky odor dissipate, as it can be overwhelming if you are not used to it. The size of this Batana Oil is generous and well worth the price. Give it approximately 12 hours to "air out" and apply as directed. I will definitely be sticking to this brand from now on.

Great product
Size: 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Size: 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I haven't used it yet.... but I'm hoping to raise the rating. It has a very strong sent off burnt popcorn which is one of the identifiers for real batana oil. The tamper seal was not secure. It was melted and spilled on me when I opened it. It soaked into the package also Could use better seal. Overall I'm pleased with the product.

Smell & texture seem to be accurate
Size: 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Size: 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is my first time using this product for two days now. Smell is strong dark roast or maybe the hard rice smell at the bottom of a pot. The oil is hardened because it’s cold but when I put it in my hands it does melt. I put it on my hair, face and neck and so far so good. I will plan to make an updated review at the end of the product use. Thank you. So far I would recommend, also customer service was great, I asked direct questions and they were direct and helpful. ☺️

Hair Regrowt, It works,
Size: 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is the truth! I was doing research on what I could use to regrow my hair. I am a black girl, and I have naturally very thick and longer hair, like to my back (though it took me a while to get there) But this past year I let a bunch of different people do my hair and they did not take care of it. My edges were basically gone. I had a bald spot like right by my edges and I had to cut off maybe 3-4 inches of hair. I was so hurt and sad but I remained hopeful and I bought banana oil after I heard Dr. Sebi talking about it (I believe that kind of stuff lol if you don't I understand) But I've been using it for 2 months now and there are baby hairs where the bald spot was and my hair is getting back to its old length. I use it excessively probably... lol I do a like a finger amount once a day or once every other day on the spot that needed the most treatment. I go to sleep in a satin cap, and I literally pray and manifest long healthy hair with this on my scalp. If you are a black girl and you have heat damage or damage from closures. GET THIS and Remember mama, your NATURAL self is always going to be the most beautiful you. Also I like the smell, kinda like roasted coffee beans
