# I got this tiny prayer plant from a yard sale last year, she had…

_Posted by Anmarie on 2026-03-22_

I got this tiny prayer plant from a yard sale last year, she had maybe 5-7 leaves. It completely dried up during a cross country move but I managed to water-prop what was left and get a sprout and some roots and then put in my smallest pot on hand and finally got a new leaf. I water when dry and have only fertilized once. I had it on a shelf in a Northeast corner of windows but have moved it further away in the same room. Is there anything else I can be doing to bring it back to life/get more sprouts?

But not in indirect sun! That would be to much for it

Thank you!! That’s why I moved it further away from those windows, they get a ton of light

It will take time. Its got to make more roots before anything else happens above ground so I say patience. A lot if it! Ok
