Hey y’all! Can anyone tell me what to do with this little guy?  
I ordered him from Brandon the Plant Guy on TikTok and received him today! He’s looking a little pale but his soul was damp. I let his roots air out a little before putting him back in the nursery pot and putting under a light! Any and all ideas are welcome!!

Mine is a huge brat and very sensitive to lighting/sunlight issues. Literally cannot find a place in the house it likes. Doesn’t accept a growlight….good luck lol

I put mine away from the window where the rays of sun don't even touch him and he has given me two new leaves. I used rain water when we got back from vacation. (He was cranky!) He hates tap water or filtered water, but he's one of the rain water ones.

I would agree with others above, could be a lighting issue. Mine is 8ft from a west facing window and is THRIVING. Its starting to put out flowers and constantly has new leaves producing. It gets the very last 1.5 hours of direct light before the sun goes down.

I also have noticed that all my new growth comes out very lime green and it takes a while for it to develop its darker color. So if its still producing new growth, but its just a lighter color then it could just take a bit for it to change.

My prayer plant is loving her life!  
I use tap water that has set out for 24 hours. Always make sure she is slightly damp. Fertilize once a month. Give her lots of indirect light and grow light. She is my stunner! Absolutely beautiful plants! Also like a few other of my plant babies they get brighter in color with the more sun and love you give her. ; )

Keep us updated on your baby! Please

UPDATE:  
I see some improvement! She’s darkening up nicely. I fed her with liquid fertilizer, bottom watered with filtered water and placed her under a white (grow) light and it seems to be helping!
