I have a prayer plant that looks relatively healthy (just a bit leggy), but the soil will not dry out! It’s been a full 2 weeks since I last watered it and the top inch of soil still feels very damp to wet. My apartment is a little chilly, but taking >2 weeks to dry out seems a little excessive to me. Why isn’t the soil drying out appropriately?
Do you have drainage holes? What type of pot is it in & what soil did you use?
