# I need some prayer plant experts! Background: when I got her she was…

_Posted by Dallas on 2025-03-16_

I need some prayer plant experts! Background: when I got her she was very happy for about a month, then I made a bunch of changes and she was not happy. Lost all but one leaf. Fixed the issues and now we’re back to 7 leaves since Christmas with 2 more about to unfurl and it has FLOWERED! But now I’m worried. Since it’s grown so much and is a plant that moves a lot during the day, Do you think I should repot with these bottom  
Sections of stem buried deeper, or will burying those deeper make it unhealthy? It’s just very unstable, don’t want her to break! (No this is not her spot, just for the photo) Thanks :)

Just curious as I have a very unhappy prayer plant of my own. How do you get it to revive? My cat chewed on mine and now it only has one leaf and looks very sad

I had to repot to get the soggy dirt out of the bottom, then I took a chopstick and aerated the soil after I finished repotting, and moved it to where it gets more light! I also started snoozing the water schedule in the app if it was damp at all, and switched to distilled water only. Hope that helps!

Thank you so much for the advice!
